The Senate Democratic leader said Trump’s decision to accept a meeting shows Republicans “feel the heat.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that Congress can prevent a government shutdown when money expires this week, but only if Republicans engage in a “serious negotiation.”
In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Schumer told moderator Kristen Welker that he called Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on Friday to encourage a meeting, which the White House accepted on Saturday evening.
Schumer said reaching a deal “depends on the Republicans.”
Yes because this is literally the first time that will have been tried. There’s totally not a long and well-documented track record of good faith efforts already that have been ignored, slapped away, mocked, and used for back stabbing.
This time, though, it will totally show them.
