Schumer resists calls to resign as Democratic Senate leader: ‘Not stepping down’

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, DN.Y. He stepped down from his leadership position, as democratic fighting increases while the party is struggling to agree on messages to challenge President Donald Trump.

“See, I don’t step down.” “I knew that when I made a voice against the government’s closure that there would be a lot of controversy.”

Schumer defended the reason for his choice to vote to support the continuous decision that Republicans offer to avoid the closure of the government despite the opposition of the vast draft law by the Democratic Party.

“CR was definitely bad, you know the ongoing decision, but the closure would be 15 or 20 times. In light of the closure, the executive branch has the only power to determine what is” necessary. “They can define any supervision of the court.

Shomer claimed, without evidence, that Trump, head of the Ministry of Governmental efficiency, Elon Musk and the office of the Director of Administration and Budget, Russell Fion, would cut funding to capture, or food stamps and collective transit, as well as reduce the Midikid “by 20, 30, 50, 80 %”, suggested that the administration had decided during the government’s arrest, “we will go after social security.

“They were the federal government,” Schumer said. “Their goal is to spoil the federal government so that they can get more tax discounts to the billionaire category there. So it will be destroyed.”

“There is no slope,” he added. “Who determines the period in which the closure will continue? Only these bad guys are at the top of the Executive Branch of the Trump administration.”

Shomer told NBC that the Republican Senate, which is close to the Doug team, told a democratic teammate that the administration would retain a six -month closure, nine months, and a year, every person who was conducted and gone. ”

“There will be no way to stop it,” Schumer said. “So I thought this would be very devastating to the republic and anger a lot of people.”

Shomer, who played a decisive role in urging Joe Biden to get out of the 2024 race, denied that he was acting similarly to resist calls from his party to resign as a leader. Democrats increasingly criticized Schumer for his decrease with the leader of the minority in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez, and DN. To support the ongoing decision, Shomer rejected reports of a possible initial challenge by a member of the Progressive “Alexandria” Oakassio Cortez, DN.Y., for his seat in the Senate.

“It was a principle vote. Sometimes, when you are a leader, you have to do things to avoid a real danger that may descend the curve, and I did so out of pure conviction regarding what the leader should do and what is the right thing for America,” Shomer said, “Watch everything else,” see every other person, and he agrees on anyone else. He – is. ”

“We gathered united to fight Donald Trump on every step on the road,” Situer claimed. “Our goal, our plan, to which we unite, is to make Donald Trump the fastest duck in modern history by showing how bad his policies.”

“It represents the few, as I said, that it harms ordinary people in every way,” Schumer added, saying that the Democrats use supervision and court sessions and organize in the provinces to challenge the Trump agenda.

“I think, by 2026, the Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate will feel that they are mice on a sunken ship because we went after Trump and all the terrible things he does.”

He added that the Democrats do not have a “financial lever” point, because the Republicans who control both councils can compel the CR vote. “When you are in this political mountain, the higher the bullish, the greater the wind,” Schumer said. “The only way you stop detonating the mountain is your inner gyroscope … I had to do the right thing for our country and our packages.”
