Kellyanne Conway: Trump no longer "owns" the shutdown

Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway argued that President Trump no longer bears responsibility for the current stalemate that’s resulted in the closure of approximately a fourth of the federal government, impacting 800 thousand federal workers.

“He doesn’t own the shutdown any longer,” Conway said when asked if the president regrets his past statement willingly taking the blame.

Conway argued that because the House of Representatives passed a package last month that included the president’s requested $5.6 billion in funding, the buck now passes to the Senate.
