Sens. Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) both said Sunday the sequester will probably go into effect on March 1 since a deal between Democrats and Republicans to avoid the automatic spending cuts is unlikely.

“It will kick in,” Coburn said on Fox News Sunday.

“Unless the Republicans are willing to compromise and do a balanced approach, I think it will kick in,” McCaskill said.
