Trump will sign spending bill and declare a national emergency, Mitch McConnell says

[ziggy]

President Donald Trump will sign spending legislation to prevent a government shutdown and declare a national emergency to build his proposed border wall, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday.

"He's prepared to sign the bill, he will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time," the Kentucky Republican said as the chamber prepared to vote on a measure to keep the government open past a midnight Friday deadline.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request to comment. A spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the California Democrat would hold a press conference Thursday afternoon.

Cool. So that sets a nice precedent for President Warren or Harris or Booker to declare a national emergency on health care, climate change, and gun violence.
