Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries met over the weekend to start to mend a deep rift in the Democratic Party after the Senate leader allowed passage of a Republican stopgap 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.

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

President Donald Trump on Saturday signed a funding bill after its passage in the Senate on Friday ahead of a midnight deadline to avoid a federal government shutdown.

The spending bill approved by Congress last week maintains level funding for public media. The bill upholds CPB’s two-year advance appropriation of $535 million in fiscal year 2027, CPB said in a news release.
