Pelosi Urges Senate Democrats to Reject Schumer's Funding Bill

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has publicly criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his support of a House-passed spending bill, urging Senate Democrats to reject it in favor of a shorter, four-week funding extension. In her statement, Pelosi condemned the choice presented by Donald Trump and Elon Musk as a false dilemma that jeopardizes working families. She praised House Democrats for their overwhelming vote against the bill and called for a stronger resistance against what she termed 'damaging legislation.' Tensions within the Democratic Party are escalating, with notable figures like Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressing discontent with Schumer's approach, potentially leading to primary challenges. The situation reflects a broader civil unrest among Democrats as they grapple with internal divisions over the spending bill. Schumer's choice to support the bill has drawn ire from both the grassroots and party leadership, signaling a precarious moment for the party's unity.
