AP, WASHINGTONOn their first day in the majority, Democrats in the US House of Representatives passed a plan to reopen the US government without funding US President Donald Trump’s promised border wall. Does anyone have any doubt that we’re not doing a wall?” Pelosi told reporters at a news conference. The Democratic legislation to reopen the government without funding the wall is going nowhere in the Senate, where Republicans want Trump’s endorsement before voting on a funding package. Trump is demanding billions of US dollars to build his wall along the border with Mexico, which the Democrats have refused. Why doesn’t the Pelosi bill do that?” White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said.
