Schumer blasts economic "chaos" as Trump pauses some tariffs

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer slams President Donald Trump after breaking news on a tariff pause

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's poll numbers in his home state of New York are taking a hit.

The top Senate Democrat and longtime lawmaker faced intense backlash from within his own party in March for supporting a Republican-crafted federal government funding bill that averted a government shutdown and was backed by President Donald Trump but opposed by most congressional Democrats.
