Schumer Delays Book Tour Over Security Concerns After Controversial Funding Vote
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has postponed his book events due to security concerns, facing backlash from Democrats after supporting a Republican measure to avert a government shutdown. His new book, “Antisemitism in America: A Warning,” releases soon, but protests are expected at rescheduled promotions. Schumer had previously signaled Democratic unity against the continuing resolution but ultimately voted to advance it to prevent greater damage from a shutdown, stating, “allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.” This decision has sparked debate within the party as they search for internal unity following divergent stances on key issues.
