The Democrat party is on the verge of mutiny after a group of left-wing Senators voted with Republicans to pass a Trump-endorsed spending bill over the weekend. The divide comes as the party is still struggling to regroup after its 2024 election loss.
Back up: On Saturday, ten Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, gave Republicans the necessary votes in the Senate to pass a six-month spending package and avoid a government shutdown — despite weeks of slamming the bill.
Democrat Civil War: Writing about Democrats for the last four years under Joe Biden, one thing I always gave them credit for was showing a united front—at least publicly. That is no longer the case:
- AOC: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said there is a “deep sense of outrage and betrayal” and called the move “a huge slap in the face.”
- Hakeem Jeffries: Schumer’s counterpart in the House threw shade at him in a statement saying “House Democrats will not be complicit” and repeatedly told reporters, “Next question” when asked about ousting the Senate Minority Leader.
- Nancy Pelosi: The former Speaker said, “Democrat senators should listen to the women [female lawmakers opposing the bill]… this legislation only makes matters worse.”
- Radio host ‘Charlamagne tha God’—who is a popular political voice on the left—said: “The Chuck Schumers of the world, the Hakeem Jeffries, they should all step down.”
AOC primary challenge: The backlash has led to whispers of having Rep. AOC run as a primary challenger against Schumer when his term ends in 2029.
- When Rep. Jasmine Crocket—another young progressive Democrat—was asked by CNN about the prospect, she did not directly answer but remarked: “I definitely think that younger, fresher leadership may be something that many of us… may be looking for it, especially in the state of New York.”
What voters think: Two new polls illuminated how far the Democrat party has fallen in the eyes of American voters:
- NBC News: 27% have a ‘positive’ view of Democrats—lowest in NBC history
- CNN: 29% have a ‘favorable’ view of Democrats—lowest in CNN history
Democrat voters don’t see a clear leader: When Democrat voters were asked which leader “best reflects” the party’s “core values,” not a single name received more than 10% support.
- Rep. AOC: 10%
- Kamala Harris: 9%
- Hakeem Jeffries: 6%
- Barack Obama: 4%
- Jasmine Crockett: 4%
Real talk from G: As I’ve said many times before, the Democrat Party is still punch-drunk from their loss in 2024. They have no strategy, no leaders, and no core values. Normally, I’d be inclined to say that a party civil war could be good for them—but in this case, it’s radical progressives who want guys in girls’ locker rooms versus legacy swamp rats who only care about their own power and money. A strong MAGA movement can take on whichever side emerges victorious.
