Democratic leaders in both houses of Congress: continue to seek a bipartisan path

House Minority Leader Jeffries and U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that for months, Trump and Republicans have made life harder and more expensive, and now they have shut down the federal government because they don't want to protect the American people's health care. Democrats are still ready to find a bipartisan path to reopen the government in a way that reduces costs and addresses the GOP's health care crisis. But we need a reliable partner. In the past few days, President Trump's behavior has become more erratic and unhinged. Instead of negotiating a bipartisan agreement in good faith, he has indulged in posting crazy deep vacation videos. The country desperately needs to intervene to avoid falling into another Trump-induced government shutdown crisis. ( Gold Ten)
