— Kamala Harris (@SenKamalaHarris) January 22, 2018President Trump: It's tough to call a government shutdown on his watch a win. A Washington Post-ABC News poll released just before the shutdown found a majority of Americans would blame him and Republicans for it. But since there's also a strong case to make that his party won the political narrative of this shutdown, Trump is ultimately a winner here. Democrats' attempts to make this the “Trump shutdown” likely won't stick, especially since Trump (mostly) kept his head down throughout and let the Senate work it out. They are up for reelection in states Trump won by a lot, and they were the only Senate Democrats who voted against sparking a government shutdown in the first place.
