GOP Sen. Kevin Cramer says Congress can reach health care deal after government reopens

Published | Video Starts at 00:47

I still believe, Major, that it's hard to imagine that Democrats are going to allow our police officers and our military men and women to not get paid at the next opportunity. As you know, Federal workers that aren't in the military get paid this weekend. And then next Wednesday is the deadline for our military. I just can't imagine that they're going to hold out beyond that. That said, they're pretty dug in.
