Sen. Ossoff Urges President Trump to Join Negotiations, Prevent Shutdown

Atlanta, Ga. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is urging President Trump to join negotiations, and warning that the President's refusal to meet with Congressional leaders risks a government shutdown.

President Trump this week refused to meet with Congressional leaders to negotiate a budget bill.

"President Trump's refusal to meet with Congressional leaders is driving the country toward an unnecessary shutdown. Refusing to work together is not a solution. I'm urging President Trump to work with both parties to find a bipartisan path forward. At this moment, we need the President to be engaged directly, not threatening mass firings of Federal workers."
