the senate at the same time. reporter: so the question is whether or not her members in her caucus will get behind her. at the moment she does have support from her democratic caucus members. there are some freshmen, though, who say they will let pelosi push to try to get what they believe is a fair process, get witnesses to come forward, the documents they wanted but they want this to happen soon. it can t go on forever. i want it to be over. but i think it is all right to ask for the process and what it will look like when it hits the senate. reporter: that s going to be the big question for the speaker how when she will allow this to move forward. and lawmakers going just left in the house. the senators are finishing up their votes for the year. a lot of uncertainty when that trial will actually start as congress adjourns for the year here. a very uncertain situation.
should worry the president, as he heads into 2020. christina alesci has more on that. that s right, the consumer is feeling really good and continues to spend. this is a win that trump can spin as evidence he s generating economic growth. 2.1% growth for the third quarter which was revised up from an earlier estimate is notable because so many analysts and investors had been worried about a possible downturn, and those concerns stem from trump s trade policy and also because the economy has been expanding for so long that economists are just worried it can t go on forever, but apparently the consumer thinks it can. they keep spending, because of a very strong labor market, also trump to his credit has been able to inspire confidence. the growth number is also pushing markets up. the s&p 500 hit ten new all-time highs this month, that also plays in to trump s narrative. remember in september, he said

and apologize for having snubbed him apparently at the u.n., then comes out and says he will obliterate the turkish economy which is a strange way of making friends, so that s just from the turkish perspective. the kurds feel even more like a ball at the end of the string. they have been, they have had this alliance with the u.s. military, with the u.s. administration, for several years now, for four years now, but every time this happens, every time there is inconsistency from president trump mainly, they think, do they need to find new backers? and those other backers would either be iran, or the syrian regime. and they don t want to do, it they re uncomfortable with that, they would rather stick with the americans, this is based on conversations i ve had with the most senior kurdish leader, but they can t go on forever, because their future is at stake. so if the u.s. continues to be inconsistent, and does in fact allow this offensive to go forward, i think they will definitely purs
