Donald Trump took to Twitter to tell Mitch McConnell to use the Nuclear Option to get his Border Wall funding and avoid a shutdown.
Mitch, use the Nuclear Option and get it done! Our Country is counting on you!

Thank you @SteveDaines for being willing to go with the so-called nuclear option in order to win on DESPERATELY NEEDED Border Security! Have my total support.

The Democrats now own the shutdown!

The nuclear option would make the amount of votes needed 51 rather than 60.
