Schumer, Jeffrez asks a meeting with Trump to avoid the closure of the government

Senate minority leader Choc Shomer (DN.Y.) and the leader of the Democratic Parliament (NY) (NY) sent a letter to President Trump on Saturday to demand a meeting to discuss the end of government funding on September 30, which may lead to its closure.

The warnings on the Capitol Hill were flashing after the Senate rejected a seven -week continuous decision (CR), which passed the House of Representatives in a large extent, leaving leaders on both sides of the corridor on a dead end on how to avoid closing.

The Democratic leaders wrote in the letter: “We write to demand a meeting regarding your decision to close the federal government because of the republican desire to continue the health care of the American people.”

Shomer and Ceffries criticized council Mike Johnson (R.) and the majority leader of the Senate John Thun (RS.

“In your direction, Republican Congress leaders have repeatedly refused to engage in two -party negotiations to keep the government open.” “Despite the fact that the Partial Republican Spending Bill has been defeated, the majority of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives and the Senate have overcome its responsibility for government financing.”

Democratic leaders called on Republican Republican to address the end of the provisions of the Care Law at reasonable prices before the end of October and the restoration of nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid financing that was reduced under the large and beautiful bill.

On the national level, “they wrote.

The draft tax and spending law has not taken significant discounts on the advantages of medical care, but Democrats argue that the law will affect the long -term sheet of long care because it added an estimated $ 3.4 trillion to national debt, which increases pressure on the ability of the federal government to push future benefits.

The law also narrows the qualification to enroll in medical care, which limits the criteria that include American citizens, permanent legal residents, Cuban and Haytiete expatriates, but with the exception of other current immigrants.

Shomer and Ceffrez said that the Republicans would take responsibility for the closure because they refused to negotiate with the Democrats.

“As the deadline approaches on September 30, the Republicans will bear the responsibility for another painful government due to the Republican Party’s refusal to speak with the Democrats,” he added in the letter to Trump.

They argued that the president now had “a commitment to meet us directly to reach an agreement to keep the government open.”

On Friday, Trump seemed pessimistic about keeping the government open without interruption and suggested that democratic demands were excessive.

“We will continue to speak to the Democrats, but I think it might end up to a closed country for a while,” he told reporters. We will prevent the army. We will take care of social security. We will take care of the things that we have to take care of.

“Many things are fighting Democrats for … they will not be able to pay,” the president added. “Therefore, we will see and see how we do that.”
