Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y.) book tour announced Monday it will postpone multiple events, citing security concerns, after he helped prevent a government shutdown last week.

Why it matters: Democrats are badly divided over the best way to oppose President Trump.

Schumer spent weeks privately warning against a shutdown, while House Democrats, party activists and even some of his senators publicly invited a confrontation.
Schumer's book, "Antisemitism in America: A Warning," is scheduled to be released on Tuesday.
His schedule this week included tour stops in Baltimore, New York City, D.C. and Philadelphia.
