    Senate leaders announce stopgap funding deal to avert shutdown

    Senate leaders announce stopgap funding deal to avert shutdown

    Dec. 19, 2018 / 10:19 AM EST
    By Alex Moe, Frank Thorp V and Allan Smith

    "One way or the other, we will win on the Wall!" President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday.

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on Wednesday that a short-term bill to fund the government through Feb. 8 will be introduced later this morning, a deal that would avert a partial government shutdown over the Christmas holiday.

    "Later this morning, we’ll introduce a continuing resolution that will ensure continuous funding for the federal government. The measure will provide the resources necessary to continue normal operations through February 8," the Kentucky Republican said in remarks on the Senate floor.

    That resolution will not include $5 billion in funding for the border wall that President Donald Trump said was a must in order to have his approval in order to fund key parts of the federal government before they run out of operating authority on Friday.

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said that Democrats would support the stopgap measure.

    “Yesterday, we made some progress. Thankfully, President Trump appears to have backed down from" demanding $5 billion for a border wall," he said.

    "Insistence on $5 billion for a wall has been the biggest obstacle for keeping the government open past Friday," he added.

    Both House and Senate Democrats had indicated Tuesday night that they were supportive of short-term measure through early February, two Democratic sources told NBC News Tuesday night.

    The White House in recent days has softened its stance and signaled that Trump will not shut down the government over border wall funding, but that doesn't mean he's backing down, both he and officials said.

    "We have other ways that we can get to that $5 billion," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told Fox News on Tuesday. "We don't want to shut down the government, we want to shut down the border from illegal immigration."

    White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told Fox News on Wednesday that should Trump approve a short-term government funding package, it "doesn't mean the president is backing down from an essential promise."

    And on Twitter Wednesday morning, Trump tweeted: "One way or the other, we will win on the Wall!"

    In his remarks Wednesday, McConnell blamed Democrats for the necessity of a stopgap bill.

    Trump's getting a legal opinion on the military building the wall, how much, what type, where and on what basis. It should be approved because of the caravans creating a national emergency of foreigners storming our borders and to counter illegal drug flows controlled by the foreign drug cartels. He probably won't be able to use the military to build the entire wall, but some major high-risk sections should definitely qualify.

    This was your last chance. Nobody is ever going to believe you again.

    Of course. They've won when it comes to the wall. They didn't want it and they've succeeded. Their base will be overjoyed.

    In his remarks Wednesday, McConnell blamed Democrats for the necessity of a stopgap bill.
    You need to blame the Republicans too, including yourself.

    I visited the Seabees site recently. It is worth looking at and reading about all of the building they do around the world. Complicated assignments in some situations. They have assisted on the border before.

    There should be no argument against securing our own borders as we secure people and borders in other nations. President Trump must follow through on his promise to build a wall.

    It is a disgrace that our defense department has not fully built a wall and other barriers with full monitoring and sensors to stop the everyday invasion across our southern border in particular. The billions needed are a drop in the bucket compared to the billions that illegal immigration costs and the billions that leave in remittances.

    When Trump fired Jeff Sessions, I then knew his primary focus was on protecting himself and his family, not protecting our country! Trump seems to be more about Trump than anything else.

    Trump doesn't fight like a monkey.

    Trump fights like a businessman.

    Trump fights for one reason: to win.
