On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Evening Edit,” Senator John Hoeven (R-ND) said he believes that “we’re close” to negotiating a solution to end the government shutdown. Hoeven said, “I think we’re getting closer. … Now, we need to stay at this until we get it done. We’ve got negotiations going on. Let’s keep negotiating and keep voting and get something done. I believe we can do it. I believe we’re close. It should include, not only funding the remaining 25% of government, but also, securing the border. But we’re close. Let’s get it done.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett
