Dear Colleague:
I write in connection with the pending Republican shutdown of the federal government.
Last Friday, Democrats strongly opposed the partisan Republican spending bill in the House and the Senate, and it went down in defeat. The next day Leader Schumer and myself demanded that Donald Trump meet with us in order to address the ongoing Republican healthcare crisis and prevent a lapse in government funding. On Monday, President Trump formally agreed to a meeting in the Oval Office.
