White House says there's 'nothing to negotiate' as administration attempts to avoid shutdown
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that there's "nothing to negotiate" ahead of President Donald Trump's meeting with bipartisan congressional leadership on Monday as the administration is lobbying heavily for lawmakers to pass a clean continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown.
"Our message and what we want out of this is very simple. The president wants to keep the government open. He wants to keep the government funded. There is zero good reason for Democrats to vote against this clean continuing resolution. The president is giving Democrats one last chance to be reasonable today," Leavitt said on Monday.
When asked by reporters whether Trump was planning to negotiate with leadership, Leavitt said there's "nothing to negotiate."
During an appearance on Fox News, Leavitt said that passing a clean continuing resolution is the "reasonable" thing to do and indicated that Trump will send that message to the Democrats at the White House on Monday.
