the bottom line from Capitol Hill on the shutdown is basically this: everyone, Republicans and Democrats, is waiting for the White House to figure out what their position is/what they're willing to negotiate on.
.@LindseyGrahamSC, as he left a meeting with McConnell: “Here’s what Leader McConnell is going to do – he’s going to let the White House figure out what move they want to make."
@LindseyGrahamSC Graham's point here is that things are shifting and folks on the Hill are at a tipping point. the WH hasn't weighed in yet on the clear shift, and Republicans will wait for him to do so, one way or the other, before making their next move.
@LindseyGrahamSC And as he's made clear for days, Graham repeated that if a deal can't be reached in the near term, the WH needs to pull the trigger on a national emergency declaration so the government can be re-opened
