SHUTDOWN MIGHT END THIS WEEK… OR GET WORSE
Top Trump economic advisor Kevin Hassett says the shutdown might “end sometime this week.”
But if Democrats don’t budge, the White House could ramp things up with “stronger measures” to force a deal.
He claims Dems are dodging a vote until after the weekend’s anti-Trump “No Kings” protests, to avoid bad press.
Meanwhile, Republicans want a short-term bill with no extras. Democrats are holding out for health care funding, including Obamacare tax credits.
Polls show most voters blame Trump and the GOP, but both sides are still pointing fingers.
Schumer says Democrats planned for this showdown months ago, and every day the pressure builds.

This shutdown is a different world for Trump than the 2018-19 shutdown. He's in a much better spot.
His net approval is up slightly during this shutdown vs. dropping during 2018-19.
Why? The % who blame him a great deal for the shutdown is down significantly now vs. 2018-19. pic.twitter.com/WHEqHaqo4M
