Schumer's resignation needed to protect democracy from authoritarianism.
To: Rep. Castor
From: A verified voter in Tampa, FL
March 14
You are absolutely right that Senator Schumer's decision to enable the House GOP's harmful spending bill is unacceptable and a betrayal of Democratic values. By voting to advance legislation that slashes funding for critical programs and empowers Trump's dangerous agenda, Schumer has failed in his duty to firmly oppose the MAGA movement's assault on our democracy. His actions reveal a profound unwillingness to fight for the American people against rising fascist forces. Resigning as minority leader is the responsible course of action to make way for leadership that will courageously defend our nation's principles. The Democratic party desperately needs opposition voices willing to take a strong stand against the creeping authoritarianism jeopardizing our republic. Schumer's resignation would be a necessary step towards restoring robust democratic resistance.
