Chuck and Nancy Head Back to the White House

Playbook: “The main event today comes at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer along with a few top committee chairs, are due to meet with the president to talk about … at long last! … infrastructure.”

“Democrats laid out their bargaining position on the matter in a letter Monday, but meetings with Trump have a tendency to, er, roam. Will the president bring up any other topics that have been on his mind lately?”

Politico: “The last time Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer met with Donald Trump it was an unequivocal disaster, culminating in the longest government shutdown in history. … [T]he White House meeting Tuesday morning is likely to reveal whether anything at all can get done in Washington over the next 18 months.”
