"Democrats do not support the wall," she said, speaking also on NBC. "Republicans on the border states do not support the wall.""The Republicans have the votes in the House and the Senate and the White House to keep government open. The burden to keep it open is on the Republicans," Pelosi said. She noted that when Trump promised to build a wall during his campaign, he never indicated he would "pass billions of dollars of cost of the wall onto the taxpayer."On Obama's health law, Priebus said he'd like to have a vote on the GOP replacement bill in the House this coming week. But he insisted it didn't make too much difference to the White House whether the vote came next "Friday or Saturday or Monday.""It's a marathon, not a sprint," he said.
Trump tweeted a warning at Democrats on Sunday, saying: "ObamaCare is in serious trouble. The Dems need big money to keep it going - otherwise it dies far sooner than anyone would have thought."Trump is also planning to outline a tax cut plan on Wednesday. He told The Associated Press on Friday that it would include a "massive" tax cut for both individuals and corporations.
On Fox, Mulvaney said to expect "some specific governing principles, some guidance, also some indication on what the rates are going to be." He added: "I don't think anybody expects us to roll out bill language on Wednesday."Speaking to the AP, Trump dismissed 100-day markers as "artificial." Still, his White House is eager to tout progress on the litany of agenda items he promised to fulfill in his first 100 days, despite setbacks including court bans on his proposed immigration limits and the high-profile failure in repealing and replacing Obama's health law.
The president said Friday he spent his first 100 days laying the "foundation" for progress later in his administration, including by building relationships with foreign leaders.
