Schumer, Jeffries demand meeting with Trump to avoid government shutdown

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries are urging President Trump to meet with them to discuss the looming government shutdown due to the expiration of funding on September 30. Their call for a meeting comes after the Senate's rejection of a seven-week continuing resolution, raising concerns about the potential impact on government services and employees. This situation is critical as it highlights the ongoing political tensions and the urgent need for bipartisan cooperation to prevent a shutdown that could disrupt many aspects of daily life.
