Trump Willing to Meet with Democrats Before Shutdown Deadline

President Trump will meet Democratic leaders despite skepticism over a shutdown deal with a divided Senate and spending-skeptical conservatives, risking a government funding lapse on Sept. 30.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced plans to hold discussions with Democratic leaders from both the House and Senate before the government funding deadline on September 30.
  • Trump expressed skepticism about the talks, calling it almost a waste of time because Democrats never approve legislation and called the opposition party as having "the yips".
  • Congress faces a September 30 deadline—the end of fiscal year 2025—to approve funding measures covering all federal agencies, but efforts have stalled after only a few bills were enacted and funding has continued through temporary extensions known as continuing resolutions.
  • Trump said, "they never approve anything" and predicted Republicans would vote funding bills in despite lacking the 60 votes needed to pass spending measures in the Senate.
  • The meeting suggests bipartisan negotiations continue but the risk of a government shutdown remains high given deep partisan divisions and Senate math constraints.
