Noting that “this is the first day where the shut down is going to start to have much more real consequences and we’re talking about the earning power of nearly a million workers,” Stirewalt expressed concern for people about to deal with consequences for “citizens trying to use the government…consequences start to stack up in a more consequential way.”

As such, Stirewalt made the point that “the Trump administration is looking for a way to do a deal so the president can save face here. As soon as Nancy Pelosi takes over as speaker in earnest, the Democrats will start turning the pressure up from the house.”
