passage is uncertain. minority leader chuck schumer had this to say. the president and the house should follow that lead because shutting down the government over christmas is a terrible idea. also i unclear whether the president would sign. this encouraging the president to veto it bottom line the house must approve, the senate must agree and president must sign all before midnight tomorrow or else the lights go out for part of the government and the capitol behind me, guys? ed: all right, griff jenkins. brian: how down was mitch mcconnell in his statement. for mitch mcconnell to be surprised now that the president is not getting what he wants is disingenuous. he allowed this to happen. he never went to bat and made fire rye speeches about it. jedediah: a lot of people who voted for president trump counted on him on this particular issue. i think their feet were to the fire. you sigh a lot of people around the country say hold on a second.
