Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries seek to defuse tensions after shutdown clash

After tensions over last week’s government shutdown battle, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries are aiming to unify.

Schumer defended his decision to support a Republican-backed bill to avoid a shutdown, emphasizing his focus on winning Senate seats in 2026.

Jeffries, after a weekend conversation with Schumer, expressed confidence in their shared goal of blocking Medicaid cuts.

Both leaders have shifted their attention back to opposing Trump’s agenda, especially his proposed Medicaid cuts, despite criticism from within their party over the funding bill, NBC News has reported.

Tensions remain high, but Schumer and Jeffries are now focused on their joint strategy moving forward.
