‘He’s a formula for failure:’ Lawmakers ditch Trump and negotiate to avert another shutdown

Lawmakers have until February 15th to negotiate on President Donald Trump’s wall at the U.S. Mexico border before he forces another shutdown.
Both Republicans and Democrats are adamant about preventing another government shutdown, even if that means defying the president. Republicans held a meeting on Tuesday about border security negotiations with no “clear signal from President Trump on what he would accept,” a report from The Washington Post said.
Lawmakers are seeking bipartisan support to end negotiations. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who was publically quiet during the shutdown, said that he would do “whatever it takes,” to keep the government open and running fully.
