    EXCERPT:

    RAJU: “We have learned that Schumer and Jeffries did meet behind closed doors yesterday in Brooklyn trying to get back on the same page. They have huge and consequential fights ahead. But the backlash from the left is real. In fact, Wolf, Chuck Schumer is scheduled to do a book tour in a number of cities on a book that he has authored on anti-Semitism. He has just canceled that book tour, we are learning, because of protests that were scheduled from activist groups who wanted to go after his decision to agree and allow the government funding bill to go forward to avoid a government shutdown. They were furious at his decision to do that. It just shows you the anger on the left and the Democratic Party. Can they get it back together at this key moment when they are essentially leaderless in a lot of ways, essentially don’t have a strategy on how to fight back against Trump and have all this unrest on the Democratic base? That’s going to be a big question for Schumer. But interesting that he decided to cancel this event. They cited — they cited security concerns, but there were these large-scale protests, at least some protests scheduled outside these events.”
