Schumer in toughest fight of Senate leadership career

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

29% : Comedian Jon Stewart last month pleaded with Democrats to "stop f -- ing trotting Schumer out there every time Trump traverses into the unreal," taking a shot at a Schumer presser in which he used an avocado and Corona beer as props to illustrate his points about the economic impact of Trump's tariffs.
24% : Calling it a "huge slap in the face," she said vulnerable Democrats in districts that Trump won in 2024 risked their seats to vote against the bill only to watch 10 Democratic senators "acquiesce" to the Republican legislation.
19% : "Allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option," he warned.
15% : Schumer has faced criticism -- albeit indirectly -- from a prominent member of his leadership team, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who declared after the disappointing 2024 election that Democrats were no longer the party of the working class.
