Senator Graham Briefs Colleagues on Conversation with President to End Shutdown

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) tells colleagues on the Senate floor that he's just spoken with the president about a proposal to have a three-week continuing resolution to re-open the government to allow time to reach a deal on border security and Democratic priorities on immigration. He says the president was "imminently reasonable" in his requests and that Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer were meeting to discuss them. He also says that "money for a barrier is required to get this deal done. It will not be for a concrete wall." close
