Finding a deal this week to avoid a government shutdown will come down to a negotiation between President Trump and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), whose relationship is so bitter that lawmakers in both parties see little chance of an agreement.
Trump is scheduled to meet with Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) this week on how to avoid the looming shutdown, a White House official told The Hill on Monday.

Congress locked in game of shutdown chicken as funding deadline nears
Congress is cruising at a steady clip toward a government shutdown at the end of the month, with both parties — and both chambers — pointing fingers at the other while refusing to blink.
Lawmakers from both chambers are in their home states this week after the House passed a GOP-crafted government funding bill that was swiftly rejected by the Senate, along with a competing proposal to keep the government open. Senators aren’t expected to return until Sept. 29 and Hous...
5 things to watch as a shutdown looms
Congress is moving head-first toward a government shutdown after the Senate voted down a pair of stopgap spending bills, including a “clean” one proposed by the GOP to keep the lights on for seven weeks while appropriators hammer out a longer-term deal.
Lawmakers will be out of town for the next week before returning on the eve of the deadline, raising questions about whether there’s any chance they can avoid a shutdown when they return.
Here are five things to w...
Lawmakers say only Trump can avert government shutdown
Republican and Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill say Washington is headed for a government shutdown next week unless President Trump intervenes to cut a deal with Democrats.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has said repeatedly he does not want to sit down with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) to negotiate a deal to keep the government open past Sept. 30, repeatedly telling reporters he wants the stopgap funding measure to move by “regular order.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) sent a letter to President Trump Saturday to demand a meeting to discuss the expiration of government funding on Sept. 30, which could result in a shutdown.
Alarms are flashing on Capitol Hill after the Senate rejected a seven-week continuing resolution (CR) that passed the House on a largely party-line vote, leaving leaders on both sides of the aisle at a stalemate over how to ...
These four lawmakers bucked their party on stopgap spending bill
Four lawmakers bucked their party in Friday's votes on a Republican stopgap bill to fund the government, which passed the House but was blocked by Democrats in the Senate.
House Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) were the only GOP no votes in the House, while Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) was the sole Democrat who supported the bill.
In the upper chamber, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) was the only senator who crossed party lines, voting in su...

Cleveland leaders push back on Republican’s call for National Guard deployment
Cleveland leaders have pushed back against Rep. Max Miller’s (R-Ohio) request that Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) deploy the National Guard to Cleveland to crack down on citywide crime.
In a Washington Times op-ed, Miller argued that the National Guard should be brought to Cleveland, citing high rates of violent crime and homicide.
“My constituents in the suburbs are afraid to go into the city,” Miller wrote. “The Cleveland I grew up in is now unrecognizable. Fa...
