Joint Statement from Senators Shaheen and Hassan on Their Continuing Bipartisan Efforts to Find Common Ground

WASHINGTON – Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan released the following statement on their continued bipartisan efforts to reach an agreement:

“While we are disappointed that we could not reach a bipartisan agreement tonight, we remain encouraged by the conversations we have had with a bipartisan group of senators over the past hours. It is clear that there is common ground on the key issues at stake, and that a workable bipartisan agreement is within reach. We are going to keep working with our colleagues across the aisle, and believe that if Leader McConnell and President Trump allow these efforts to progress, we can reach a bipartisan agreement.”
