Democratic Senator Mark Kelly says President Trump is refusing to help end shutdown

Published | Video Starts at 04:09

But here's the problem. The Republicans only react to what the president says and does. And on this issue, he has spent very little time on it. He has spent a lot more time talking about his ballroom. He's been on two international trips during this shutdown. He has not been focused on this. My hope is after the election last night, what he said today, that he wants this to come to some successful conclusion. (04:09–04:17)

CLAIM
