Schumer and Jeffries urged to resign by peace groups

A coalition of peace groups including Peace Action and RootsAction launched a national campaign Wednesday calling for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to resign from leadership roles, citing their inadequate opposition to the Donald Trump administration's Iran war.

The groups filed a petition arguing that Schumer and Jeffries delayed a vote on Iran until after military operations began and failed to clearly oppose the conflict before or after launch.
