Democrats say they were incredibly unified, even though they had some disagreements over strategy within their conference and caucuses.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer said they managed to keep all the Democrats together at this toe-the-line strategy that they had. In addition, here's what's going to happen next. We have talked about this border security task force. It's a conference committee that we have already known seven senators have been named to that group.

They have until February 15 to try and work out a deal. Interesting, those seven senators, none of them represent a southern border state. We will see if there are any who represent a southern border state when the House names its members, Republicans and Democrats, to try and work out a deal.

One other thing, House Speaker Pelosi's office sent out a note saying what they think happened here. And they wrote specifically the speaker kept the president off-balance by insisting that the State of the Union be held after the shutdown was over.

An update on that. House Speaker Pelosi said today that still there is no date for the shutdown — I'm sorry — for the State of the Union. And I'm told by people here that it is almost logistically impossible for it to happen by next Tuesday.

Chances are, it will be delayed, even if government reopens before then, as it looks like it will. And one last note. I chased after Speaker Pelosi and Leader Schumer to ask them about federal contractors, who are not slated to get back pay yet, Judy. They both said it's on their minds, and they are working to try and do something for them.

So we will keep on top of that.
