"totally up to the Democrats."
"They're trying to do something to get them motivated and not angry at them."
"There is going to be huge pressure on Republican senators, congressmen, and even Trump to do something about this horrible health care crisis,"
"Now, if the president at this meeting is going to rant, and just yell at Democrats, and talk about all his alleged grievances ... we won't get anything done,"
Republican leaders assert that Democrats bear responsibility for preventing a government shutdown and criticize Democratic tactics and grassroots pressure. Democrats insist that failure to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, which expire at year’s end, would jeopardize Americans’ health care. President Trump labeled Democratic demands as "ridiculous," while Senate Republicans still need Democratic votes to reach the threshold for a government funding measure. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urged Republicans to engage in serious negotiations and warned that a confrontational presidential approach would prevent progress. House Speaker Mike Johnson said "we'll have to see" about the meeting's outcome.
