Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer decided not to filibuster a Republican-written funding bill, ensuring federal funding continued beyond a deadline. This decision caused uproar among fellow Democrats, leading to a shouting match during a private lunch. House Democrats were particularly upset, going into what Axios termed a “complete meltdown.” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries commended House Democrats for opposing the bill, but met boos when referencing Senate Democrats. Some Democrats suggested primary challenges for Schumer, mentioning Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Dan Goldman as potential challengers. The discontent has already led to four Democrat Senators announcing retirements.
