According to sources, newly elected Utah Senator Mitt Romney worked behind the scenes to peel off Republican Senators to force an end to the Government Shut down that had House Democrats pitted against President Trump over funding of a wall on the southern border of the U.S. With U.S. Senate Republicans having a mere two vote majority, Mitt Romney peeled off a couple of Republicans, according to Senate sources who threatened to vote with Senate Democrats to end the 3 week old Government shut down. Without the Senate to hold off the House Dems, Trump had no choice but to reopen the government today.
