"I'm the best leader for the Senate," Chuck Schumer says amid internal party drama after shutdown vote

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer argued Tuesday that he remains the "best leader for the Senate" despite backlash from some Democrats over his decision to allow a Republican-led measure to advance, avoiding a government shutdown. 

"We have a lot of good people," Schumer said on "CBS Mornings." "But I am the best at winning Senate seats."

Schumer initially signaled last week that his caucus would fight back against a partisan measure to keep the government funded. But a day later, he reluctantly pledged to advance the continuing resolution, delivering one of the Democratic votes necessary to propel the measure to passage. The move has prompted frustrations among some within his party, and questions about his leadership, but Schumer has repeatedly defended his decision.
