President Donald Trump plans to meet with congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle on Monday, as a possible government shutdown looms, a White House official confirmed to Fox News.
The meeting comes after the president canceled one last week with Democrats, claiming they had "unserious and ridiculous demands."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., were set to meet with Trump on Thursday to discuss a path forward to avert a partial government shutdown before the Sept. 30 deadline.
Schumer and Jeffries will now meet with Trump, along with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.
Schumer and Jeffries put out a joint statement on Saturday on the rescheduled meeting.
"President Trump has once again agreed to a meeting in the Oval Office," the statement said. "As we have repeatedly said, Democrats will meet anywhere, at any time and with anyone to negotiate a bipartisan spending agreement that meets the needs of the American people. We are resolute in our determination to avoid a government shutdown and address the Republican healthcare crisis. Time is running out."

The Congress has “Top Men”?
Who knew?
Democrats are bound and determined that taxpayers must support their illegal alien voting base. Most of them don’t even work areal job. They’re either in the drug business or the procreation business. The later is very lucrative and the more kids, the more money they get. Citizens must pay for it all.
We are SLAVES.
“healthcare crisis”
*******************
“In 2023 and 2024, 80 percent of marketplace enrollees could find a plan for $10 or less per month on HealthCare.gov, the federal marketplace that operates in 31 states (19 states and the District of Columbia run their own marketplaces).”
“The enhanced subsidies have translated into higher enrollment in ACA marketplace plans and fewer uninsured people. They helped increase enrollment in the marketplaces from 12 million in 2021 to a record 24.2 million in 2025.”
“Medicare Premium Bill....Current Premium Due...Total Amount Due $555.00”
That’s from a document that was and now is on my dining room table.
That was $185/month - for nothing at all in my case.
If you want “Medicare for All” it would be $185/month per person.
It would be reasonable to prorate the premium by age, so a kid about a tenth my age would have a ~$19/month minimum premium.
Shut ‘er down!
Most of them are contenders for the No-balls piece prize.
claiming they had “unserious and ridiculous demands.”
“Claiming” - no doubt this was written by one the little Trump haters at FNC.
Hope he tells them both they can go F themselves, slowly and painfully..Trump holds ALL the cards, he wont give them anything and they will have to give him EVERYTHING or else the Govt will be shut down and federal workers are gonna be fired on the spot
What Dems mean is that their precious illegals wont get access to free health care on OUR dime..yeah I dont want ANY damn illegal getting free health care on MY dime, they can LEAVE and get health care in their own country NOT mine
Shut off the EBTs and WIC cards and watch the cities burn. Better ammo up boys.
Sadly, I see the R’s caving again... because they know media will blame them and make them the “bad guys”.
True.
I’m with you on this one.
Agreed.
The government gets a huge amount of revenue anyway, so just target the drones.
Me, I can live without my SS for a couple months, because unlike so many I never counted on it anyway.
sure, it would be reasonable. But it would also go against the Democrat core principle that one big government size fits all.
Dems...”meets the needs of the American people.”
The needs of this American person is 75% LESS government! I guess I don’t count.
Yeah - but who is the trapper, and who is the trapee, this time?
Schumer and the deMS-13s voted for the exact same CR when Biden was in office….twice.
