Washington — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer postponed events to promote his forthcoming book, citing security concerns as he faces backlash from Democratic voters over his decision to support a Republican measure to avert a government shutdown.
"Due to security concerns, Senator Schumer's book events are being rescheduled," Risa Heller, a spokesperson for Schumer, said in a statement Monday.
Schumer, a New York Democrat, had several events scheduled this week in Maryland, New York City, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and California to promote his book, "Antisemitism in America: A Warning." The book's release date is Tuesday.
