Minority Leader Chuck Schumer vowed that he won't step aside as the chamber's top Democrat after criticism of his move to help pass a Republican funding bill.

“Look, Donald Trump is a lawless, angry man.” Schumer said in response to a question about whether or not the U.S. is at constitutional risk. “He thinks he should be king. He thinks he should do whatever he wants, regardless of the law, and he thinks judges should just listen to him.”

A Democratic senator appeared less than confident in Leader Schumer during a town hall, remarking on the importance of knowing when to step back.

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he's "not stepping down" from leadership in an interview aired Sunday amid mounting pressure from within his party to abandon his post. Why it matters: He's remaining defiant as Democratic lawmakers and outside groups pile on calls for him to step aside.

In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says he will not step down as the leader of his caucus despite growing concerns from his party after he supported a Republican spending bill.
