Dem group calls for Schumer to step down as minority leader after spending bill vote

The article from MSN discusses a call by the progressive group RootsAction for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down following his support for a bipartisan spending bill. The group criticizes Schumer for not using his influence to push for more progressive policies, particularly in areas like climate change, healthcare, and economic inequality. They argue that his leadership has not been aggressive enough in challenging the status quo or in advocating for significant reforms. This demand comes in the wake of a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package that was passed to fund the government through September 2023, which some progressives felt did not go far enough in addressing key issues. The article also mentions that this isn't the first time RootsAction has targeted Schumer, indicating ongoing dissatisfaction with his leadership among some left-wing activists.
