But in recent years, Schrader has provoked ire from far-left Democrats after he compared the second round of impeachment proceedings of former President Donald Trump to a <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bensiegel\/status\/1347611132727586816\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201clynching.\u201d<\/a> Schrader has also butted heads with Democrats on key votes promoting Biden\u2019s agenda, with the Oregonian opposing a $15 federal minimum wage and initially voting against the American Rescue Plan. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>However, Biden overlooked those anomalies, albeit on high-profile votes, to praise Schrader. <\/p>\n<p>Schrader and McLeod-Skinner are set to face off in the Democratic primary on May 17, as both centrist and liberal Democrats argue their preferred candidate is needed to defend the seat.
