Pelosi expressed her disapproval of Schumer's strategy, suggesting that he had unnecessarily surrendered the Democrats' bargaining power. "I myself don’t give away anything for nothing," she remarked, alluding to Schumer's decision to support the GOP spending bill, despite no Republican proposals to cut Medicaid, which Pelosi had mentioned.
As reported by the Daily Caller, Pelosi's comments reflect a broader discontent within the Democratic Party's base regarding Schumer's approach. Many Democrats in Congress are advocating for a more confrontational stance against the Republican-controlled Senate, urging Schumer to resist collaboration with GOP lawmakers. A senior House Democrat, speaking to Axios, likened Schumer's popularity to that of "Elon Musk and the Ebola virus," highlighting the dissatisfaction among some party members.

Pelosi's criticism is not isolated. Former Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz also voiced his disapproval on Governor Gavin Newsom's podcast, accusing Senate Democratic leadership of forfeiting their leverage in the funding dispute with Republicans. The discontent has even led to whispers of a potential primary challenge against Schumer in 2028, with some Democrats encouraging New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to consider a Senate bid.

Ocasio-Cortez has not dismissed the idea, stating, "Schumer has been in politics for a long time, and I would hope that this is his final term, and he opens it up for someone new."
Despite the criticism, Schumer has stood by his decision to support the spending bill, arguing that allowing government funding to lapse would have been a greater detriment. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Schumer reflected, "The higher you climb, the more fiercely the winds blow. The only thing that keeps you from being blown off the mountain is an internal gyroscope."

Pelosi's influence extends beyond this recent funding debate. She reportedly played a significant role in persuading former President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, showcasing her continued sway within the Democratic Party.
