“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries met in Brooklyn on Sunday as Democrats were left reeling from a government shutdown fight that exposed bitter internal divisions over how to take on President Donald Trump,” Punchbowl News reports.
“Jeffries and other top House Democrats have been critical of Schumer’s decision to allow the House GOP funding bill to advance and avoid a shutdown.
In an extraordinary press conference on Friday, Jeffries refused multiple times to say whether he has confidence in Schumer.”“With that news, it’s fair to say the state of the Democratic Party is poor. And we’re being kind here.”
