AOC breaks with Schumer over GOP funding bill
AOC Critiques Schumer on Recent Funding Bill
Tensions are rising within the Democratic party as Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez openly expresses her disagreement with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer regarding the GOP’s proposed stopgap funding bill. In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, she stated that this bill designed to avert a government shutdown does not align with her vision for the party or the country—setting the stage for an ideological clash. Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks echo a growing frustration among progressives about compromising on principles in the face of a looming deadline for legislative action.
