Washington Examiner investigations editor Sarah Bedford said Democrats don’t seem to act as if they will face serious consequences from voters for the ongoing shutdown. 

The Department of Homeland Security shutdown has lasted almost six weeks, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) on Wednesday rejected the latest offer to fund it. He told the Washington Examiner that Democrats are “asking for things that have already been turned down” and claimed the party is “going in circles.”
