The Latest: Senate Democrats will support GOP spending bill
By Associated Press | PUBLISHED: December 19, 2018 at 8:23 am | UPDATED: December 19, 2018 at 8:29 am WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the fight over funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall and a potential partial government shutdown (all times local): 11:20 a.m. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says it’s good news that President Donald Trump has apparently retreated from his demand that Congress pay for a border wall with Mexico. Schumer said Wednesday that Democrats prefer to find a way to fund all government agencies through Sept. 30, but will support a plan by Senate Republicans for a stopgap measure to continue funding the government until Feb. 8.

Democrat Sherrod Brown, mulling 2020, sets online town hall
Updated 6:52 am PST, Saturday, December 15, 2018 CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio's Democratic U.S. senator plans an online town hall Sunday as he considers running for president in 2020. Sherrod Brown of Cleveland is coming off a decisive re-election victory in November that helped bring him national attention as a potential national candidate. Brown says his message is on "the dignity of work" and fighting for workers without compromising progressive values. He also says his Ohio victory shows that approach works. That's because it came on an otherwise dismal day for Democrats in statewide and congressional elections in a state Republican Donald Trump carried handily in 2016. Brown is one of dozens of Democrats who are considered possible 2020 candidates. His Facebook town hall is aimed at people nationwide and is set for Sunday at 4 p.m. EST. … [Read more...] about Democrat Sherrod Brown, mulling 2020, sets online town hall
