Sarah Sanders tweet-shames vulnerable Democrats on impending government shutdown
Washington Examiner, Jan 19, 2018, Diana Stancy Correll

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders singled out vulnerable Democratic senators on Twitter who remain on the fence about voting for a stopgap spending measure in order to prevent a government shutdown.

Responding to news that Sen Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., would vote for the temporary spending bill, Sanders asked whether Sens. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and Jon Tester, D-Mont., would support the measure as well. Both are up for re-election in 2018 in states that President Trump won.

Sanders also applauded Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, for saying he would back the spending bill.

“Glad to know Ohio's military personnel can count on you tonight to fund the government and give Ohio military families the certainty they deserve,” she tweeted in response to Brown.
