Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has postponed a number of U.S. stops on a book tour over safety concerns after outrage among the Democratic base for his vote related to the averted government shutdown.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) suggested Senate Democrats “sit down and take a look and decide whether or not Chuck Schumer is the one to lead in this moment.”

Democrats have long found the flip phone Chuck Schumer still insists on using as an endearing quirk that illustrates how committed he is to his way of talking to all sorts of allies, all the time.

In talk show appearances, House Democrats said the minority party needed a different approach to challenge President Donald Trump's agenda.
