Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is fresh from having canceled his book tour due to criticism over the deal he struck with Senate Republicans to avoid a government shutdown.

At a news conference on Friday, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries repeatedly refused to say whether he has confidence in Schumer — a rare break for the two longtime New York colleagues. “We do not want to shut down the government. But we are not afraid of a government funding showdown,” Jeffries said.

MSNBC’s Symone Sanders-Townsend declared her departure from the Democratic Party on air over the weekend, specifically citing how Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other Democrats “blew” their chance to oppose President Donald Trump.

Fox News senior national correspondent Aishah Hasnie reports on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., postponing his book tour events amid backlash over his support for a GOP stopgap funding bill on 'Special Report.

Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, continued to face criticism from members of his own party after he reversed course and allowed the stopgap spending bill to come to a vote.
