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.

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

The liberal organizing group Indivisible said Saturday it was calling for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to step down from his leadership role, the latest fallout after he backed a GOP bill to keep the government open.

Congress averted a government shutdown Friday just hours before the funding deadline, after the Senate approved a House-passed spending bill that exposed deep rifts within the Democratic Party.

The bill was passed just hours before a midnight deadline to avoid a lapse in funding, which would have shut down the government.
