CNN political analyst says Dems are unleashing 'volcanic anger' towards Schumer for caving on spending bill

The pundit said the rage is the most he's ever seen from the Democratic Party to one of its own after Schumer committed to voting to pass a federal spending bill to avoid a government shutdown.

Senators went on to vote 54-46 to pass the stopgap spending bill.

The Democratic Party has been divided over whether to accept the CR or risk letting the government shut down. As of Thursday afternoon, multiple lawmakers, including Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., posted videos to inform social media that they were voting against the CR.

"And so, to me, it is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free, when we've been sent here to protect Social Security, protect Medicaid, and protect Medicare," she added. 

Fox News Digital reached out to Minority Leader Schumer's office for comment.

The anger from progressive Democrats demonstrated the frustration inside the party over Schumer's move. 

"We can be grumpy. We can be frustrated with each other. [But] there is a volcanic eruption of outrage at leader Schumer because we want a Mitch McConnell," Jones said, expressing the party's desire for a more effective leader like the former Senate Majority leader from Kentucky. 

"I remember when Obama had all the cards, Mitch McConnell drove Obama nuts - twisted his pinky, broke his kneecaps, and got stuff done for Republicans when they shouldn't have gotten an inch. They got miles," the pundit continued, adding, "We want somebody who's gonna stand up to this bully. Stand up to this bully. Do something."

Jones added, "There's an emotional need to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk from running over this party. And I think Chuck Schumer has radically misread the room."
