"We gave [Democratic leaders] an offer... and we're waiting to hear back." Mulvaney this morning on @ThisWeekABC re: where the talks stand

The WH has floated about $2.1B for border security, per ppl familiar, but most top aides still think this ends at $1.6B, as long discussed
The reason why it can't be $2.1B? Per plugged-in Dems, Schumer's hands are tied. He feels he's already out on a limb with the Left with $1.6B offer for border security for a POTUS loathed by base and WH is mistaken to think brinkmanship will somehow change the political reality
All that said, both Dems AND Rs working on this privately acknowledge that the major question isn't "what will Schumer do?" but "what would Trump accept and sign?" And no one is really sure. They just know he wants to fight, rally his base.
