Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will head to the White House on Thursday for end-of-the-year negotiations with President Trump.

“We’re glad the White House has reached out and asked for a second meeting. We hope the President will go into this meeting with an open mind, rather than deciding that an agreement can’t be reached beforehand," the two Democratic leaders said in a joint statement.

They added that they "are hopeful the President will be open to an agreement to address the urgent needs of the American people and keep government open.”

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who attended last week's meeting with Trump alone, are also expected to be at Thursday's

House GOP leadership is pushing forward with a plan to pass a two-week short-term spending bill as soon as Wednesday. And a Senate Republican leadership aide indicated earlier Monday that Senate GOP leadership is also backing the two-week stopgap strategy.
Democrats have yet to take a position on passing a two-week "clean" continuing resolution (CR).

In addition to a short-term deal, Schumer and Pelosi noted they also need to reach a budget agreement, as well as fund the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), pass more disaster relief aid and address a key Obama-era immigration program.

"There is a bipartisan path forward on all of these items," they said.

I hope they stroke his ego enough to get a clean Dream Act attached to something.

This might work to our favor if they can get trump to agree and pass something quickly before breitbart and other outlets change his mind!! Strategy! Dems are not making the same mistake.

If they get trump to agree on it and get republicans on it. The media won't have time to ruin it running headlines how Trump flipped and supports it now. The less time republicans have to think about it, the better.

Yes!! The last budget deal passed fairly quickly as well and trump had no time to backtrack.

I think they will do the 2-week extension so they can continue their negotiations, but it's nice to fantasize them passing it this Friday!
