Progressive leader says Schumer faces ‘uphill’ climb to win back Democrats’ trust

The co -founder of a leading progressive group says that Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer is facing a difficult challenge in restoring the confidence of Democrats after his controversial support last week for a federal government financing bill made by Republicans that avoid the closure of the government.

This step by Shomer, who has long been legislated from New York and senior Democrats in the Senate, angered many, not only on the left but through the party, who want democratic leaders to take a more striking position in resisting President Donald Trump’s agenda.

“Can it enhance the confidence of those who do not have a belief in democratic leadership?” Adam Green, the co -founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), a major organization at the level of popular base that enhances economic and democratic population through electoral advocacy efforts and the issue.

In the face of pressure from his party, Shomer defends himself

Green, in the Fox News interview, answered his own question, saying: “The answer is yes, but it is hard.”

Shomer initially indicated last week that Democrats in the Senate will fight against the Republican Party Financing Bill. But one day later, he said that he would reluctantly support the procedure and help to bring the Democrats to the Republican Party needed to increase the bill to the passage of the Senate.

Democrats come out in Schumer because of a “betrayal” of bias with Trump

In an interview on Tuesday on ABC News “The View, Shomer said he” knew it was a difficult choice “but added that” I felt that I had to do that. “

Despite the intense reaction of his party, Schumer said hours ago in an interview “Sabs CBS” that he was still “the best leader of the Senate.”

“We have a lot of good people,” Schumer said. “But I am the best to win the Senate seats.”

But Green said that many are in PCCC membership, which says the group says nearly a million people do not agree.

PCCC asks in a questionnaire about his membership, “Do you have confidence in Chuck Schumer as a democratic leader in the Senate?

According to PCCC, with approximately 22,000 responses on Tuesday afternoon, 84 % said “no”.

Decreased positive classifications of the Democratic Party to register the lowest level

Green Green to national opinion polls from NBC News and CNN that were released at the end of last week, which referred to the preference of the Democratic Party to record its lowest levels, “There is not much faith in those who call themselves the leaders of Democrats at the present time. Thus, we need a lot of crime.”

Unscreated, another group called on the main democracy organization that has long been pioneering in Trump’s resistance, on Saturday, Shomer, to step down as a leader.

Although PCCC did not go to this extent, Green accused that “those who call themselves Democratic leaders are not in a situation that allows them to go out behind a curtain and witness a strategy, especially when this strategy is moving. They have no credibility.”

Green argued that “I think this was one of the things that Chuck Schumer made a mistake in reality and that he might admit that he had sinned, and he is many members of the Senate and many groups that the allies consider by surprise and felt some injury.”

PCCC was one of the groups that organized protests in three stops this week in its planned Schumer tour. The events were suddenly postponed on Monday morning due to “security concerns”.

When asked about his group’s efforts, Green said, “This is the time to direct public anger, not hiding from it.”
