Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), speaking to reporters with a smirk, characterized the heated Oval Office meeting between President Trump, Democratic leadership and Vice President Pence as “spirited” and said he hopes the border wall funding showdown doesn’t lead to a shutdown.
“I hope that’s not where we end up,” he said. “I understand it was a rather spirited meeting that we all watched. But I’d still like to see a smooth ending here and I haven’t given up hope that that’s what we’ll have.”
