MoveOn warns Schumer, Jeffries of deep problems with base

The liberal group MoveOn has warned Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) about “deep problems” with their base regarding the Democratic Party’s response to President Trump.

Politico reported that the group wrote a letter to the two leaders, saying that Democratic lawmakers have been “inactive” in Congress.

The memo features results from a survey of MoveOn’s members, highlighting the challenges Democratic lawmakers encounter from their progressive supporters.

The survey revealed that 78 percent of participants feel that congressional Democrats are not fully committed to opposing Trump, while 49 percent indicated they are less inclined to volunteer or contribute to Democratic efforts due to the party’s inadequate response to Trump.

The letter further warned that grassroots volunteers and donors would stop helping the Democratic Party if this inaction continues.

“Nothing about this moment is normal,” the letter says, arguing that Democrats must deal wit the threat that “President Trump, his administration, and unelected billionaire Elon Musk pose to our society.”

“It is no exaggeration to say that lives will be destroyed due to their destruction–cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, cancer research funding, USAID programs for children and families, and much more,” it adds.

The group called for a collective effort to challenge “rampant corruption and mitigate as much harm as possible to the American people, our rights, and our freedoms.”

“We should tell people what President Trump and Musk are doing to people’s lives on every platform available, full stop. That includes engaging with the massively effective right-wing digital ecosystem. But outside of their turf, we need to reach people where they’re at, and with messengers who cut through the noise,” the letter said.

The group noted that some Democrats are countering Trump “with a bold and
outspoken resolve,” urging the party to showcase “fresh voices.”

“Elevate new members of Congress and showcase fresh voices in the party. There’s a
new generation of forthright, engaging, authentic, and relatable lawmakers who are
meeting the moment,” the group wrote. “They’re already showing young, disengaged folks that a better future is possible.”

MoveOn further said that its members are not “going down without a fight” and are “ready to work with those who are right there with them.”

Earlier this month, Pass the Torch, another grassroots Democratic group that called for former President Biden to step out of the 2024 presidential race, called for Schumer to resign as minority leader.

The two groups are part of a chorus of angry voices within the Democratic Party after Schumer and other Democrats voted with Republican senators to advance the House GOP’s spending bill.
