  • Nancy Pelosi flexed her political muscle Friday, taking a swipe at Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer after he walked back a threat to force Republicans to negotiate or risk a US government shutdown.

The article from MSN discusses Nancy Pelosi's opposition to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's decision to retreat from the threat of a government shutdown. Schumer had previously suggested that a shutdown might be necessary to force negotiations on border security, but later backed away from this stance, indicating a willingness to work with President Trump to avoid a shutdown. Pelosi, however, criticized this move, arguing that retreating from the shutdown threat could weaken the Democrats' leverage in negotiations with the White House, particularly concerning issues like border security and funding for a border wall. She emphasized the need for a strong, unified Democratic front to ensure that any agreement would not just be a capitulation to Republican demands.
