Trump ‘Most Likely’ Won’t Force Shutdown

President Trump said that he “most likely” will not shut down the government before this November’s midterm elections over funding for his promised border wall, backing down somewhat from comments he made earlier this week hinting that he might take such a step, Politico reports.

Said Trump: “If it was up to me, I’d shut down government over border security. And I guess when you get right down to it, it is up to me but I don’t want to do anything to hurt us or potentially hurt us.”
