Trump Says Some Democrats Are Willing to End Government Shutdown Soon

President Donald Trump on Oct. 20 said he was optimistic that lawmakers from the Democratic Party would soon vote on a measure to reopen the government, three weeks after the shutdown began.

“We’re hoping … that we will get the vote pretty soon. And I hear they’re starting to feel that way, too,” Trump said at the White House. “They’re starting to feel like they really have to do what’s right for the country, and they will.”
