Lawmakers Vote to Avoid Shutdown.
KING: President Trump, today, griping that Republicans were outplayed in negotiating the new spending bill, which Congress will vote on today. Sources telling CNN, the president, who, as we all know, fashions himself as a big dealmaker, is wondering why he wasn't consulted more. The bill, here you go, a good -- that's not even all of it. I left a few pages on the desk. Six -- 1,169 pages long. It requires everyone, Democrats, Republicans and the White House to hold their nose a little bit. It falls, for example, way short of the president's demand for $5.7 billion in new border wall funding. There's no extension of the Violence Against Women Act or back pay for federal contractors, both of those Democratic priorities. The Senate, then the House, are expected to vote on the deal later today. Republicans know the president is mad because he's getting so little of what he demanded when he shut down the government back in December. So, as they discuss this compromise, they're trying to spin it as progress.</s>SEN. SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO (R), MEMBER OF CONFERENCE COMMITTEE ON BORDER SECURITY FUNDING: A government shutdown's never going to help. It hurts people. Maybe So maybe burned once here badly, I believe it led us to, I think, a very good compromise that, again, gives the president the ability to move forward with the plan that the professionals have told us that they want and need at the border.</s>KING: CNN's Phil Mattingly live on Capitol Hill doing the math today. And that's interesting how the senator put it, Phil, with the plan that professionals tell us they want and need at the border. What the professionals say is different from what the president says.
