The Democratic caucus has directed frustration at the those who voted against the party, with top Senate Democrat Schumer now receiving demands to leave his post as minority leader.

When questioned Monday if he endorsed the funding compromise to resolve the funding lapse, he said he would “abide by the deal,” labeling it “positive.”
