Senator Chuck Schumer and a handful of other Democrats sided with Republicans Friday in passing a spending bill to avoid a government shutdown. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and several Democrats who agree with him were livid. Earlier in the day, reporters asked Jeffries if he opposed Schumer’s leadership.
Here’s how that went down. (WATCH)
BREAKING: The Democrat infighting is getting so bad that Hakeem Jeffries is now getting testy with reporters who just want to know if he opposes Chuck Schumer's leadership.

The reporters are so afraid to make him angry

Well, the ‘partisan’ bill passed with bipartisan support. Better luck next time, Hakeem.
The day's events and his inability to influence the outcome wrecked Jeffries. Commenters could see it.
Be testy when pressed to answer a question he doesn't know how to answer haha

I would characterize him as tense and scared

The Democrat Party is squabbling amongst itself and there’s no clear leader.
Many have pegged Jeffries as a possible candidate but so far he’s shown no ability to unite the party or get rogue members under control. He’s not living up to his label of being the second coming of Barack Obama.

Yes, so delicious. The stopgap spending bill ultimately passed the Senate 54-26. It now goes to President Donald Trump to sign before midnight. The measure funds the government through the end of September.
