Partial Government Shutdown Looms as Trump and Dems Disagree

Guest: James Curry, Professor of Political Science, University of Utah We face the possibility of partial government shutdown if Congress can’t pass a spending bill by midnight Friday. President Trump is trying to get funding for a wall on the southern US border included in that bill, but Democrats in the House and Senate are refusing to go along with Trump’s full request. And remember, Democrats will take control of the US House on January 3, so if the President hopes to get his border wall funded, now is the time to do it, before Republicans lose control of the House. But is it worth shouldering the blame for a government shut down?
