Future speaker of the House speaks

Nancy Pelosi, the future Speaker of the House, is on the wires saying:

  • funding for border wall is a nonstarter
  • Will consider supporting a short-term spending bill that includes a disaster funding

The Senate passed a spending bill last night. The House is still expected to approve a short term extension to February (sans wall funding). The question is will the President sign it (of course he will).

An extension however, would prolong the wall debate into 2019 when the House will be controlled by the Democrats.

Pres. Trump tweeted earlier today:

There is never a dull moment when politics is involved.
