"The White House has been projecting great optimism, and more than optimism, confidence, Kaitlan, that this is going to wrap up in the next couple of days. They believe, whether I don't know what their evidence for this is, but they believe that they are seeing some signs that the Democrats will come toward them. We have seen I have certainly seen no signs of that in my own discussions and reporting. But we will we will see where this is in a few days."
"I will say that even some Republicans were quietly frustrated by President Trump's social media post, highlighting Russ Vought's connection to Project 2025. Even though the notion, that the President had no idea what Project 2025 was during the campaign, was absurd, or that he didn't know the people who were involved with it was absurd. It was not actually his campaign's platform. It also but there was overlap between his campaign's advisers,"
Allies of President Donald Trump are privately unhappy about his social media post highlighting Russell Vought's connection to Project 2025 because it complicates the politics of a government shutdown they want to blame on Democrats. The White House projects optimism and confidence that the shutdown will conclude within days, asserting signs that Democrats may move toward them, though no clear evidence exists of that. Some Republicans express quiet frustration that the president publicly tied himself to Project 2025, a plan he previously distanced himself from despite overlap between campaign advisers and the plan's architects.
