Shutdown showdown: Why individual democrats will probably not block the budget

The democratic MP in the House of Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez described the U-Wende by Senator Chuck Schumer as “huge slapping in the face”. After the Democrat leader in the US Senate announced on Wednesday that his faction would reject the Trump government’s transition budget, he announced on Thursday that he would not want to stand in his way. Friday morning (US time) is to be the draft law to vote, which is likely to be approved.
