Graham gives up on shutdown talks: 'I have never been more depressed'

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday he has given up his attempt to negotiate an end the partial government shutdown and said he has “never been more depressed” after trying to find an answer.

Graham had been pushing the White House, Senate Republicans, and Senate Democrats to find a legislative agreement on border security so President Trump wouldn’t have to declare a national emergency to access money to build a border wall. But Graham’s effort came crashing down Thursday as momentum halted.
