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.”
They get either nothing or one token concession that doesn’t really matter and then cave, and pat themselves on the back for the great win.
