Last night - despite what Nancy Pelosi said a week earlier - a Government funding bill containing $5.7 Billion for the border wall easily passed in the US House 217-185. It was sent across to the Senate where every Democrat says they won't vote for it. Because Trump.
This morning the President has made renewed calls on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to use the so-called nuclear option which means going with 51 votes.
Some Senators like Steve Daines of Montana are backing this call. As I write this, I have not heard anything from either Iowa Senator.
So Midnight tonight is the deadline and the big question is, will someone blink or will the Government close?
