Yeah, so you have to remember, Democrats made the last shutdown entirely about health care.
And they feel like that went really well for them.
It's an issue where they traditionally poll very well with voters and where voters tend to trust them.
And they came out of the shutdown feeling really confident that they had staked out a position on health care.
Right.
That's right.
I think it really linked the idea of health care with Democrats, which is something that they want American voters to think, that Democrats are the party that cares about health care costs and that is working to do something to address them.
And I think you're going to see them try to make a similar message here, that one party really wants to make sure that the Trump administration's crackdown doesn't go too far and that it follows the same standards that we hold other police to.
And right now, polls are showing that voters are backing them.
Voters have serious issues with what ICE is doing.
They have serious issues with what happened in Minnesota.
And so Democrats feel like even though there are some risks, the public right now really is on their side.
Mm-hmm.
I think it is, but things feel different, at least right now, this time.
I think a lot of Democrats who yielded to strike that deal with Republicans know that a lot of attention is on them right now.
And I think that they're very aware that this is an issue that the Democratic base cares very deeply about.
And so right now, it doesn't seem like they're as likely to fold as they were last time around.
So Senate Republicans in the White House do think there is room for a deal here.
And it might not be on masks and it might not be an identification, but they do think there are areas where they could come together and find a compromise with Democrats.
Like what?
