Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Schumer's fellow New Yorker"have been the most vocal in their opposition to the bill. "Senate Democrats should not allow this chaos to continue," Ocasio-Cortez declared in a social media post following Schumer's u-turn on resolution.

"Call your Senator and ask to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill."
