<p>Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) delivered a back-handed insult to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) over his eleventh-hour conversion on the Republican-led Continuing Resolution that passed on Friday, ensuring that the federal government would be funded through September.</p>
<p>Pelosi — who voted with nearly all of the Democrats in the lower chamber (save Maine&#8217;s Rep. Jared Golden) against the stopgap measure — suggested that Schumer had essentially given away his vote, giving President Donald Trump and the Republicans a win without getting anything in return for his own party.</p>
<p>&#8220;I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,&#8221; Pelosi said at a Tuesday <a href="https://sfstandard.com/2025/03/18/san-francisco-nancy-pelosi-chuck-schumer-medicaid-government-shutdown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> in her hometown of San Francisco. &#8220;And I think that’s what happened the other day.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pelosi had <a href="https://pelosi.house.gov/news/press-releases/pelosi-statement-government-funding-bill-senate">lauded</a> her successor in House leadership, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and called on her party to reject the CR: &#8220;I salute Leader Hakeem Jeffries for his courageous rejection of this false choice, and I am proud of my colleagues in the House Democratic Caucus for their overwhelming vote against this bill.&#8221;</p>
<p>She went on to suggest that any shutdown would be blamed on President Trump in spite of the fact that Democrats — in the Senate in particular — were the only ones with the power to either push the bill across the finish line or stop it in its tracks. &#8220;America has experienced a Trump shutdown before – but this damaging legislation only makes matters worse. Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Schumer argued that a shutdown, given the optics, would be far more damaging to the Democratic Party as a whole than the passage of the CR — but his party, thus far, does not appear to be buying his argument.</p>
<p>The Senate leader was even on his heels on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-think-you-caved-schumer-gets-an-absolute-grilling-on-the-view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>&#8221; — which would typically be a relatively friendly audience for Democrats — as several of the hosts questioned not just his vote but also his leadership moving forward.</p>
<p>Even Jeffries, who typically would not cross Schumer in public, refused to answer when asked whether he felt the longtime senator was still the right person to lead the Senate.</p>
<p>One unnamed House Democrat, according to an <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/03/19/chuck-schumer-house-democrats-hakeem-jeffries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axios report</a> published on Tuesday, said that Schumer&#8217;s popularity within the party was &#8220;hovering somewhere between Elon Musk and the Ebola virus.&#8221;</p>
