"Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are architects of the crisis that allowed Trump's fascism to arise and succeed," argued one progressive organizer. "They have zero credibility to be leading the fights we face today."

Summary

House Democrats are reportedly frustrated with progressive advocacy groups like MoveOn and Indivisible for pressuring them to aggressively oppose the Trump administration.

These groups have driven thousands of constituent calls demanding Democrats obstruct GOP efforts, but leaders like Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer have resisted full-scale opposition.

While 65% of Democratic voters want maximum resistance, party leadership has opted for selective battles.
