Ryan Costello on the Shutdown: I Just Don’t See a Scenario Where Dems Are Willing To Give Any More Money Beyond the $1.3B for the Wall
RUSH EXCERPT:
COSTELLO: “I think it will be weeks, not it’s very difficult to know what the president would be willing to sign, and mark meadows, being one of his chief allies in Congress, in the house, unless and until those house members indicate what they’re willing to sign, and then have a bill pass the house and get over to the Senate for consideration, it will be weeks. I would just echo, again, what Phil said. The Senate passed 100-0 a funding bill which I believe they had every expectation, the White House supported and the president was going to sign and it was only after the fact when the president indicated that he would not sign it so in addition to there being uncertainty for those federal workers, there’s just a lot of uncertainty over what each entities’ bargaining position is right here. In other words, what would someone be willing to take? I just don’t see a scenario where Democrats are willing to give any more additional border security money beyond a $1.3 that’s just my take.”
