Opposition blocking infrastructure spending bill would have included provisions that would limit funding for President Donald Trump's border wall and spending for border security programs by $1 trillion through 2035. The bill, backed by House Speaker Paul Ryan, failed to advance amid fierce opposition from Republican lawmakers. A spokesman for Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., would only say she supported the bill's spending reductions. (Oct. 18)
-- More details from a Democratic poll: "If you were to take the numbers from the Republican poll, if you were to take the polls out and just look at all Republican support [for the 2018 midterm elections], that's how you'd guess their support would be. They're probably not very optimistic that that could come to pass and they're probably going to make some adjustments." Democratic pollster Mark Penn notes that the polling is "more of an extension of what they've been doing in recent elections, and it would be nice to see that happen."

-- A former chief of staff to Rep. Peter King, a conservative firebrand who has been pushing to oust Democrats from the House, says the former colleague's strategy for dealing with King is to get rid of the moderate, liberal chairman, John Shimkus, and replace him with someone willing to negotiate with King — a move that will likely cost a lot of his own salary, according to Politico: "He told me there's very little support from the moderate wing of the caucus to get what's been called a moderate-only agenda. A lot of people, [senators] Susan Collins (R-Maine), Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) all have no problem [with the centrists moving forward], but it's hard to pick their fights in the Senate or to get them on their side. It's not like you're going to see a fight in the chamber. You're just going to have some people who don't want to engage in the hard fights. … I think it's going to be close. I think they might push that far in the Republican leadership meeting in January, and I think they might pull an end run around them if that's what happens." Shimkus and King have different worldviews — and some of those differences could cause problems. King believes in a nuclear-first foreign policy, meaning he favors less intervention abroad, and Shimkus is pro-mission of the armed forces. "That will keep them on the same page," a source close to King told Politico's Jack Shafer. (Politico)
