Top Democrats demand a meeting with Trump as shutdown looms
Los Angeles Times
|September 21, 2025
As a possible federal shutdown looms, the Democratic leaders of Congress are demanding a meeting with President Trump to negotiate an end to what they call “your decision” to shut government offices if no action is taken by the end-of-the-month deadline.
REP. Hakeem Jeffries, left, and Sen. Chuck Schumer say they are united as the funding deadline nears.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Saturday that Republicans, at Trump's insistence, have refused to enter talks. Democrats are pushing to preserve healthcare programs as part of any deal to keep government running past the Sept. 30 funding deadline.
The New York Democrats’ remarks come after the House passed a spending bill Friday to avoid a shutdown, but the Senate remained stalemated.
“We write to demand a meeting in connection with your decision to shut down the federal government because of the Republican desire to continue to gut the healthcare of the American people,” Schumer and Jeffries wrote.
