CNN commentator Van Jones said that the Democratic Party is showing "volcanic anger" towards Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. after he voted for the recent spending bill.

CNN political commentator Van Jones weighed in on the “volcanic anger” Democrats have with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) after he voted to advance the GOP-backed spending bill, emphasizing the party needs some “alpha energy” and has to push back harder on the changes being executed by the current administration.

The U.S. Senate on Friday passed a stopgap spending bill, averting a partial government shutdown, after Democrats backed down in a standoff driven by anger over President Donald Trump's campaign to slash the federal workforce.

The Senate passed a House-approved government funding bill that averts a government shutdown that was set to be triggered at the end of the day Friday.

Their support meant the bill was able to break the 60-vote threshold to avoid a filibuster, 62-38. The nine Democrats are a mix of moderates, close allies of Schumer, members who represent states with large populations of federal workers and senators on their way to retirement.
