Instead, he went on a media blitz to defend his decision, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3351336\/schumer-book-tour-damage-control-im-best-leader-senate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"declarin\">declarin<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3351336\/schumer-book-tour-damage-control-im-best-leader-senate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"g\">g<\/a> &ldquo;I&rsquo;m the best leader for the Senate.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi and Jeffries had urged Senate Democrats not to go along with a six-month spending plan backed by President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> and instead push for a bipartisan short-term compromise. But with the clock ticking on midnight Friday government shutdown deadline, Schumer decided against filibustering the GOP plan in the Senate, arguing a shutdown would be a far worse outcome for the federal workers Democrats have sought to defend.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer was among 10 Democrats to side with Republicans to get the GOP-backed government funding bill across the finish line, giving<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> Trump<\/a> a victory in a days-long shutdown fight.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats voting yes to advance the spending bill with Schumer were Sens. John Fetterman (D-PA), Angus King (I-VT), Dick Durbin, (D-IL), Brian Schatz (D-HI), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3348339\/third-senate-democrat-backs-gop-spending-bill\/\">Catherine Cortez Masto<\/a> (D-NV), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Gary Peters (D-MI), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).<\/p>\n<p>Democrats expressed their distaste with the GOP plan after they were iced out of negotiations for the short-term legislation that ignores their demand to put guardrails on Elon Musk&rsquo;s federal cost-cutting mission through the Department of Government Efficiency. The legislation largely locks in current funding levels through Sept. 30.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi still holds great power in the Democratic Party after being a large player in former President Joe Biden stepping down last year, with much of the party still holding great respect for her leadership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_2042640\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"2042640\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pelosi backs Schumer\u2019s leadership but swipes at his GOP \u2018giveaway\u2019 Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) weighed in on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer\u2019s (D-NY) decision to help pass the GOP government funding bill that she and House Democrats vehemently opposed.
