Caving to Border Wall Funding

On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the press that “there will not be another shutdown” over the proposed border wall. She also said she will fully support any resolution that the bipartisan committee in charge of the negotiations come up with, even if it includes full wall funding.

Chances are strong that it will. Nancy says that as the negotiations continue, “left to their own devices,” an agreement will be reached as early as Friday. Democratic rep from N.Y. Nina Lowey, who leads the conference committee, told reporters negotiations are happening and could be settled in enough time for the House and Senate to vote on new appropriation bills before the February 15 deadline.
