Correct me if I’m wrong, but he doesn’t need to negotiate with Democrats. Republicans have the majority and could pass it on their own if it was reasonable.
You are incorrect. Reps hold a majority, but not a supermajority. They would need sixty votes to pass a budget and end the shutdown, and only hold fifty three seats.
the gop is so short sighted, they wanted a shutdown but dint have enough seats to end it, meaning its a impulsive thing.
He has the votes to pass it in the house, it's more so the senate Republicans who have to negotiate with the senate Democrats to pass it.
yes, but they need a narrative to not be the ones at fault for shutting it down.
