After weeks of frustration with President Donald Trump, the Democratic base has turned its ire on a new target: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the 9 Democratic senators who voted to advance a Republican funding bill rather than shut down the government.

President Trump praised Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for saying he would back the GOP spending bill to avert a government shutdown.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer took heavy criticism from fellow Democrats for allowing GOP measure to proceed, calling it the better of two bad options.
