What are today's headlines for March 17th, 2025?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Monday, March 17th, 2025. And happy St. Patrick's Day.
This is your AM update. So are you the right person to lead the party at this moment?
Let me put it this way. First, I don't think there's anybody. Well, I think I know how to win seats back in the Senate.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer resisting calls for his resignation as a deeply divided Democrat Party sinks to record low approval. President Trump invokes the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Trenda Aragua gang members. And a D.C. judge blocks the move.
The two sides are today a lot closer. We had some really positive results.
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff says Russia is coming closer to accepting a peace deal as intensity on the battlefield ramps up. And a new NBC poll has good news for President Trump. All that and more coming up in just a moment in a busy AM update. four years of crushing interest rates runaway inflation and reckless government spending and who is paying the price you are you might have bills stacking up you might have debt collectors on your back you might barely be able to keep food on the table and that's stressful Done with debt can be a way out.

That's donewithdebt.com. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's paving the way to keep the government open for another six months. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, Michigan Senator Gary Peters, Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, New Hampshire's Jeanne Shaheen, independent senator from Maine, Angus King, all also voting to advance the bill.
House Democrats like New York Congressman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, California Congressman Robert Garcia, and Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley slamming Senator Schumer and the others.
It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect Social Security, protect Medicaid and protect Medicare.
I think Senate Democrats, I think the Senate leader made an enormous miscalculation. This is not a time where we should be bending the knee to Donald Trump. Again, I don't think we should be moving in any way to elicit a praise from Donald Trump, who has no respect for Congress and the power of the purse.
Axios reporting, quote, several members, including moderates, have begun voicing support for a primary challenge to Schumer, floating representatives AOC and Dan Goldman as possible candidates. Soros-backed progressive group Indivisible also calling for Senator Schumer to step down. The group releasing a statement over the weekend saying 82 percent of its leaders in New York and 91 percent nationwide voted in favor of calling for Mr. Schumer to step aside. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a Friday presser initially refusing to affirm his support for Senator Schumer.
Is it time for new leadership in the Senate? Next question.
However, by Saturday, Mr. Jeffries was appearing on MSNBC, providing some public support for Mr. Schumer, signaling leadership is sticking together, at least for now.
Look, Chuck and I disagreed as it relates to the approach and outcome relative to what we viewed as a reckless Republican spending bill. At the same period of time, Chuck and I agree on the overwhelming majority of issues moving forward.
