House Democrats spent much of their three-day issues retreat complaining about Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer .

The uproar prompted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to trek back 35 miles to the Capitol to hold an impromptu news conference.

Republicans must now turn to crafting a massive bill that Trump wants to include border security, massive tax cuts and deep spending reductions.

The March 14 funding deadline had been known as a key moment of potential leverage.

But the Trump -infused distractions took over even before he was sworn in on Jan. 20 .

Senate Democrats did not hold a full caucus meeting focused on the funding debate until Tuesday , a couple of hours before House Republicans narrowly passed their plan.
