schumer defends controversial vote amid calls for leadership change in democrats
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended his vote for a Republican spending bill to avert a government shutdown, asserting it was a principled decision to prevent greater harm from a shutdown, which he warned would empower Trump and Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. Despite backlash from within his party and calls for his resignation, Schumer emphasized the necessity of his vote to protect essential government services and avoid a situation where the executive branch could unilaterally determine what is deemed "essential."
