NBC’s Kasie Hunt reported, “We can say NBC news has confirmed that Democrats at this point are going to give Republicans enough votes to reopen the government today. They have 60 votes. Democrats were huddling inside the caucus room over in the capitol. I came straight over from there. I’ve talked to one source who was inside that room, another who has been in constant touch with those who were meeting inside the room. Again, this was a senators-only meeting. And while Chuck Schumer went right by all of us reporters and said, look, you’re going to find out pretty soon what we’re going to do, at this point we do have what I would say is a pretty seismic shift from just a couple of hours ago.”
Democrats say the government will be reopen soon:
Democrats got a vote promise on DACA from McConnell, and they didn’t give up anything. If McConnell doesn’t keep his promise, they can shut the government down again on Feburary 8. Democrats have won the first battle to protect the Dreamers, but the fight has only begun.
