The last time Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer met with Donald Trump it was an unequivocal disaster, culminating in the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Today, they're set to meet again.
The White House meeting is the first since the blow-up over government funding in January and one of a handful of times Pelosi and Trump have been in the same room since she reclaimed the speaker's gavel. Since then, she’s repeatedly challenged Trump amid growing partisan recriminations.
Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 House Democrat, said in an interview that both sides recognize they need each other to get a major deal done and that that could override bad feelings over the House investigations. Trump and Senate Republicans are unlikely to agree to renegotiate their tax law, leaving it unclear how to pay for any bipartisan infrastructure bill. Lawmakers have refused to raise the gas tax to fund the nation’s highways and transit systems since it was last increased more than 25 years ago.
“Certainly, it is a big step that both sides who, frankly, had a lot of hostility toward one another over the last couple months are sitting down at the table and discussing an issue that has to be addressed,” she told reporters.
