Sen. John Thune confirms has learned several Democrat members DESPERATELY want to cave

Sen. John Thune confirms he's been going AROUND Chuck Schumer in back-channel negotiations and has learned several Democrat members DESPERATELY want to cave and end the shutdown.
"There are rank-and-file Democrats, we've had back-channel conversations...that have intensified."

"There are people who want to get this figured out on the Democrat side."

"There are. But the challenge is the Democrat leadership couldn't care LESS about this."

"Chuck Schumer, they're in a BOX. They are running SCARED of the far-left." https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1983253751831113835
