Conway says Trump is serious on border wall

None

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway says President Donald Trump will keep fighting for his promised border wall, after the president threatened a government shutdown over the issue.

 

Speaking on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" Thursday, Conway says Trump is "going to stick to building that wall and he wants the money to pay for it." She adds: "anybody who is surprised by that has not been paying attention for two years."

 

At a rally Tuesday, Trump said: "If we have to close down our government, we're building that wall."

 

Conway says it is up to Congress to work with Trump.

 

The House has already passed a spending bill with funding for the wall. But the measure faces an uncertain future in the Senate, where Democrats and moderates have greater sway.
