The Senate minority leader discusses the backlash to his vote on the Republican spending bill, how he sees his role within the party and his new book.

After weeks of frustration with President Donald Trump, the Democratic base has turned its ire on a new target: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the 9 Democratic senators who voted to advance a Republican funding bill rather than shut down the government.

A growing number of Democratic Party politicians, strategists and consultants are signaling anger against Sen. Chuck Schumer after he supported a Republican spending bill.

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.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and some Senate Democrats agree to let a short-term spending deal pass the chamber, believing that cooperating with Republicans was preferable to forcing a government shutdown.
