Utah’s members of Congress want to end the shutdown but aren’t giving an inch over border wall funding

Washington • As the partial government shutdown continues into its 20th day — nearly tying it for the longest closure in American history — Democrats and Republicans are digging in.

Utah's members of Congress aren't sure, and while they're hopeful a solution comes soon, they're not giving in.

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, isn’t saying if he’d support a bill that doesn’t include border wall funding that President Donald Trump is demanding.

“I’m concerned about the financial challenges that many Utah families and businesses are facing as federal workers start to miss paychecks,” Romney said Wednesday.
