Capitol Hill Staffers Suggest a Shutdown Is Likely

Fifty-six percent of senior Capitol Hill staffers say their boss believes there will be a government shutdown this year, Punchbowl News reports.

“This is the deadline we told you last year was a mistake and could interrupt Republicans’ plans to advance Trump’s agenda. The same funding deadline that the GOP congressional leaders said wouldn’t be a problem because they’d deal with it ahead of time. Of course, that didn’t happen. Now there’s less than two weeks until a shutdown.”
