Maryland Congressman Calls for New Senate Democratic Leadership After Schumer's Vote

Maryland Congressman Glenn Ivey urged Senate Democrats to "pick new leadership" following Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's vote with Republicans to avert a government shutdown. Ivey expressed disappointment, noting President Trump's praise of Schumer's decision. He contrasted Schumer's actions with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' opposition to the GOP resolution. While acknowledging Schumer's career, Ivey suggested it may be time for a change in Senate leadership. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated she has confidence in Schumer's leadership, but argued that he made too many concessions to Republicans. Schumer defended his vote, claiming a shutdown would have caused unprecedented devastation.
