*Schumer and Pelosi invited back 👍 to White House after standing up Trump 👀*
President Donald Trump just can’t quit House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Less than one week after Trump ripped the Democratic congressional leaders as “weak” after they canceled a meeting with him, Pelosi and Schumer said Monday that the president had asked them back to the White House for a sit-down Thursday, and that they’d accepted his invitation.
“We’re glad the White House has reached out and asked for a second meeting," the Democrats said in a joint statement. "We hope the President will go into this meeting with an open mind, rather than deciding that an agreement can’t be reached beforehand."
Pelosi and Schumer said Republican leaders would also attend Thursday's meeting, at which they would all discuss “the year-end agenda,” which includes how to keep the government open past Friday, when funding is set to run out.
The invitation from Trump comes just six days after he exchanged barbs with “Chuck and Nancy” for their decision to opt out of a planned meeting at the White House following his pre-emptive attack on Twitter.
