MAGAt Moses Mike unveils Trump's MASTERFUL NEGOTIATING TACTIC he plans to use with Schumer & Jeffries [View all]
With just over 24 hours until a funding lapse, Schumer and his fellow congressional leaders will join Trump at the White House for a last-chance meeting to stave off a shutdown. Its not clear, however, that either party is interested in a dealmaking session.
Speaker Mike Johnson signaled in an interview with CNN that Trump wants to use the meeting to sway Democrats into accepting the GOPs plan without the Obamacare tax credits Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries are demanding.
Chuck Schumer came back with a long laundry list of partisan demands that dont fit into this process, and hes going to try to shut the government down. The president wants to talk with him about that and say, dont do that, Johnson told CNNs Jake Tapper on Sunday. He wants to talk with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and just try to convince them to follow common sense.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who will also attend Mondays meeting, added on NBCs Meet the Press: Its totally up to the Democrats.
