You may recall this as the period of warm relations between Trump and "Chuck and Nancy" — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
That short-term government funding deal reached during that brief period will run out on December 8. And I don't think a compromise is going to be so easy to reach this time.
