House Democrats Start to Openly Call for New Leadership After Schumer Budget Debacle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two House Democrats have openly called for Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer to be replaced amid mounting anger over his vote backing the GOP
government spending package. Congressmembers Glenn Ivey and Delia
Ramirez made the comments during recent town halls. Senator Schumer was
forced to postpone his book tour amid widespread voter backlash and
planned protests.

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee announced it's going to
host town halls in Republican-held House districts around the country.
