💥 House Democrats Push Back Against Senate Leader Over Spending Bill
House Democrats from all sides of the party are furious with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and are working together to convince Senate Democrats to go against him.
🔥 Why It Matters
House lawmakers see a tiny chance that they can stop a Republican-backed government spending bill but they need help from the Senate.
- “There’s a huge effort happening right now, with people still reaching out to their senators this morning,” one House Democrat said.
- “We just need to convince four or five senators to switch sides,” the lawmaker added.
📜 What’s Happening
House Democrats are passing around a letter to Schumer, showing their strong opposition to the spending plan.
- “Americans elected Democrats to fight against Republican chaos,” they wrote.
- “Instead of giving in, we need to stand strong… we urge you to reject this unfair bill.”
The letter, first reported by the Washington Post, has been signed by 66 Democrats, including many moderates and members from swing districts.
✍️ Another Letter Incoming
Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, led by Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), are also writing a letter to Schumer, demanding that he reject the bill, calling it harmful and unfair.
The battle is heating up, and Democrats aren’t backing down.
