I don't know where they're saying this is some huge partisan thing. This is something we do fairly routinely.

This is purely and simply hostage taking on behalf of the Democrats. The Republicans are united, House Republicans, Senate Republicans, President Trump. The House has passed a clean funding resolution to fund the government until November 21st. (05:31–05:40)
