Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer initiated a Democratic all-nighter on the Senate floor to criticize President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office, labeling his actions as 'corruption and cronyism' and likening him to a 'mob boss' and 'wannabe dictator.' Schumer accused Trump of attempting to crush any opposition and undermining the independence of judges, which are pillars of the democratic republic. He was joined by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Tammy Baldwin, who criticized Trump's administration for being 'cruel' and causing 'havoc and harm,' particularly to Wisconsinites. Despite being challenged on declining poll numbers, Schumer emphasized the unity of the Democratic Party in opposing Trump's administration. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump's first 100 days, highlighting achievements like securing the border and reducing inflation, and promised further successes in the next 100 days.

Charles Schumer led a Democratic Senate all-nighter to protest against Trump, accusing him of acting like a 'mob boss' and threatening the democratic republic by suppressing opposition and undermining judicial independence.

Schumer's speech was part of a broader Democratic effort to spotlight what they viewed as Trump's failure to deliver on promises and his administration's negative impact, particularly on economic costs and democratic institutions.

Senators Richard Blumenthal and Tammy Baldwin joined Schumer in criticizing the Trump administration as 'cruel' and causing 'confusion' and 'fear' about the country's future, emphasizing the harm they believed had been inflicted on the American public.

Despite criticism of his leadership and questions about his poll numbers, Schumer dismissed concerns, asserting that the Democratic Party remained united in its opposition to Trump's policies and actions.

In contrast, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump's record, claiming significant achievements in securing the border and reducing inflation while promising continued progress on trade, peace, and tax policies in the coming months.
