President Trump was very supportive, issued a strong statements in support of all the bills that have been negotiated and worked upon. So we had great support from the president and honestly, we had bipartisan support from the Democrats. We lost 21 Republicans and we live in an era when you lose more than two. You can't pass the bill. But we got 21 Democrats and worked in good faith across the aisle. So I appreciate that from all my colleagues that made sure government was funded. (01:00–01:09)
