Mark Halperin Rips Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries Over Weak Shutdown Leadership [WATCH]

Political analyst and journalist Mark Halperin sharply criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, describing the two Democratic leaders as ineffective and dismissed even within their own party amid the ongoing government shutdown, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

During his Friday broadcast of The Morning Meeting, Halperin named Schumer and Jeffries his “losers of the week” following their unsuccessful meeting with President Donald Trump earlier in the week.

U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Florida, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-New York, at The Ben West Palm in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla., on February 20, 2023.

The two Democratic leaders met with the President at the White House on Monday in an attempt to negotiate a short-term spending bill to avoid a shutdown but failed to reach an agreement.

Halperin said the pair have lost credibility not only with the public but with fellow Democrats and even members of the press who traditionally defend their party.

“Never in my career have I seen two leaders so dismissed, not just by the media, which normally loves Democrats, but privately by Democratic members of the House and Senate,” Halperin said.

“People are just rolling their eyes and throwing their hands up and saying, ‘There’s nothing we can do. We’re not going to depose them now, but they are not leading us,’ in the view of Democrats saying that ‘they’re not leading through this confrontation.’”

Halperin continued, “I’ve never seen the senior Democrats in both chambers — or Republicans — I’ve never seen attitude like this.”

His remarks come as the budget standoff continues, with President Trump maintaining that his administration will not sign a deal that fails to address government spending and immigration priorities.

Schumer and Jeffries, meanwhile, have been attempting to frame the shutdown as Republican-led, though Halperin’s comments reflect frustration from within their own ranks over how the situation has been handled.

According to The Daily Caller, Halperin’s assessment signals growing discontent among Democrats who see little strategic direction from their leadership. The media’s muted defense of the party during the crisis, he added, further indicates that confidence in Schumer and Jeffries has eroded.

The exchange between the White House and Democratic leadership this week failed to produce progress on a continuing resolution, leaving federal agencies partially shuttered as negotiations remain stalled.

While previous shutdowns often resulted in significant political backlash for Republicans, early polling and commentary suggest Democrats may not escape blame this time.

Schumer Shutdown Rumor

The Democrats continue to hold America hostage, as they attempt to save Senator Schumer from getting primaried by AOC.

Rumor is that “Russ the Reaper” is going to roll back government size by 10%, taking it to 2019 levels pre-Biden at day 66.

Halperin’s blunt criticism highlights a broader divide inside the Democratic Party as rank-and-file members grow frustrated with what they perceive as ineffective leadership and outdated political tactics.
