Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is believed to have significantly mishandled the government funding negotiations, according to some perspectives. Additionally, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s choice to promote his new children’s book across the country shortly after Donald Trump’s election has been viewed as ill-advised. This has led to a sense of demoralization among key donors and a feeling of disdain among voters. Furthermore, there is ongoing discussion about the potential emergence of a movement reminiscent of the Tea Party.
