Schumer: Step Down as Senate Minority Leader

The longest shutdown in U.S. history is coming to an end, and after over 40 days, Democrats didn’t win a single meaningful protection from Trump’s dangerous cuts for families in America.

Right after historic, sweeping election wins that should have bolstered Democrats’ position, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer allowed them to cave. 

Tell Chuck Schumer to step down as Senate Minority Leader. It’s time for real leadership.

Petition to Senator Schumer:

Senator Schumer, in light of your failure to secure a single meaningful protection from Trump’s dangerous cuts for Americans in the latest shutdown fight, I urge you to immediately step down as Senate Minority Leader.

Under your failed leadership, Senate Democrats have surrendered their only real point of leverage to protect our communities from Trump’s rampant abuses and dismantling of protections. At stake were affordable healthcare and No Kings protections against Trump’s planned overreach to rescind funding as he sees fit. Without these protections, Trump can continue to eliminate critical programs that protect our food, water, and environment.

It’s time to step aside to make room for real leadership for Senate Democrats.
