Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday urged President Donald Trump to meet with Democrats to strike a deal to avoid a government shutdown as the funding deadline looms.

"I hope and pray that Trump will sit down with us and negotiate a bipartisan bill," Schumer said on CNN's " State of the Union ," days before federal funding is set to expire on Sept. 30.

Schumer's push comes after the Senate last week rejected both Republican and Democratic proposals to keep the government funded at least temporarily, raising the likelihood of a shutdown.
