Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.) slammed the Republican Party’s “fully partisan” funding bill on Sunday and reiterated his efforts to meet with President Trump as the “only way” to avoid shutdowns.
“What we’re very simply asking is what we always do in this type of budget negotiation: bipartisan negotiations. The Republican bill is a completely partisan bill, zero (zero) opinions – zero – that’s not how things are done,” Schumer said in an interview with CNN.
“We had two bills on the floor Friday. Both failed. Democratic bills and Republican bills. That’s because there was no negotiation with the Republican party.” “Once was.
He added: “So (House Minority Leader) Hakeem Jeffries ((DN.Y.)) and I are now asking to sit down with Donald Trump because that’s the only way to avoid Trump’s closure. Republican leaders are listening to Trump rather than talking to us.”
Senate Democrats voted overwhelmingly in favor of defeating the Republican funding measure that was approved by the House, which did not even win a simple majority on the floor given the Republican absence. Centre Senator John Fetterman (Pennsylvania) is the only Democrat to vote for it.
Democrats are now pushing for negotiations by Senate Majority Leader John Thun (RSS), but Republican leaders say the White House needs to weigh before any deal is reached. Thune explained that although his staff had been in contact with White House staff, he has not spoken directly to Trump about the matter.
Schumer and Jeffries sent a letter to Trump on Saturday asking him to meet with them to negotiate a funding agreement and believed he had a “obligation” to sit down and talk.

“They want all of this stuff. They haven’t changed. They haven’t learned from the biggest meetings they’ve ever been to. … I’d love to meet them, but I don’t think it’s going to make a difference.” Trump headed to the White House for events in Virginia before leaving the Marines.
