Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) slammed a Senate deal to end the government shutdown effectively, calling the compromise a Democratic “surrender” and taking aim at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer‘s (D-NY) leadership over the past 40 days.
“Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength,” the governor, who is eyeing a 2028 White House bid, posted on X. “Instead we saw capitulation and betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.”
