Sanders Won’t Find It Easy Keeping Support Political Wire by Taegan Goddard “Some of his top congressional supporters won’t commit to backing him if he runs for president again — and two may join the 2020 race themselves. A handful of former aides might work for other candidates. And Bernie Sanders’s initial standing in Iowa polls is well below the 49.6 percent he captured in nearly defeating Hillary Clinton there in 2016,” the New York Times reports. “Mr. Sanders may have been the runner-up in the last Democratic primary, but instead of expanding his nucleus of support, in the fashion of most repeat candidates, the Vermont senator is struggling to retain even what he garnered two years ago, when he was far less of a political star than he is today.”

Democrats Plot Strategy to Stiff Trump on Wall
Political Wire
by Taegan Goddard

“House Democrats — increasingly convinced they’re winning the shutdown fight with President Trump — are plotting ways to reopen the government while denying the president even a penny more for his border wall when they take power Jan. 3,” Politicoreports.

“While the strategy is fluid, House Democrats hope to pass a funding bill shortly after members are sworn in. They believe that would put pressure on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to follow suit. And they’re confident that their political leverage will only increase the longer the shutdown lasts — a notion that some GOP leaders privately agree with.”
