Apparently Schumer is getting pressure to step down. Because he appears to be ineffective. Even if he made the right call with the vote, the Dem base did not see any resistance from him, and so are displeased.

Perception is everything with an uninformed public. Whether it's this, or climate change (arguably the most potent threat to our economy in the long term...remediation will cost trillions over the next many decades), or whatever else, people don't know the details (and don't seem to want to). They just see the surface, and react.

So even if a shutdown was a bad idea, he didn't even put on a show of a fight. And now people want him gone. That's poor politics on his part.
