A Republican senator said Friday that the dispute over the government shutdown and the borrowing limit will be resolved before the Oct. 17 debt ceiling deadline.
“Things are beginning to break,” Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) told Bloomberg Television.
“I’d be surprised if it goes all the way to the 17th,” Corker added. “I think sometime midweek this will all be resolved, if not sooner, candidly.”
Amid brutal poll numbers for their party, Republicans are actively searching for a way to reopen the shuttered government and avoid the looming debt crisis.
