Bloomberg: “Trump isn’t inclined to support a one- or two-week stopgap spending measure that would avert a partial government shutdown over the holidays, according to a person familiar with White House planning.”
Playbook: “The available evidence would indicate Congress is heading for its third shutdown in two years.”
“But, we keep hearing over and over again on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue that the White House is privately OK with the Senate-negotiated spending bill, which includes money for border security, not a wall. The question is when do they express that publicly? Do they push this until Friday evening, and force Congress in for the weekend? Once a decision is made, Congress can move quickly.”
