Hakeem Jeffries responds as Trump says he's open to government shutdown deal

We'll sit down anytime, any place, with anyone from your administration, including the president, to get a resolution here with respect to the Affordable Care act tax credits, which need to be extended right now, as well as dealing with and addressing the Republican health care crisis that is devastating everyday Americans all across the country. I do not know of any Democrats who have spoken to President Trump or members of his administration on this issue of reopening the government, enacting a bipartisan spending agreement, and addressing the Republican health care crisis.
