Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) is calling on Senate Democrats to replace Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) as leader. This comes after eight members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted late Sunday to begin the process of reopening the federal government.
Khanna, a progressive Democrat who represents Silicon Valley, took to social media to express his concerns. He argued that if Schumer can’t keep his caucus united on such a critical issue, it may be time for new leadership.
The call for change highlights ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party as lawmakers navigate complex negotiations to end the government shutdown.
