Overview
- Ezra Levin announced what he called the largest primary program in Indivisible’s history to back challengers who will, in his words, fight the Trump administration.
- Levin accused Democratic leaders of repeatedly cowering and capitulating, urging voters to demand tougher opposition within the party.
- He said he will withhold votes, donations, and other support from Senate candidates who support Schumer’s leadership.
- The push followed a vote in which Sens. John Fetterman, Angus King, Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen, Dick Durbin, Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, and Tim Kaine joined Republicans to advance a government funding bill without a guaranteed ACA subsidy extension.
- Schumer did not join the eight and publicly opposed the Republican bill on X, even as Levin promoted younger and progressive Democrats as the faction he wants to elevate.
