Signs of GOP unease over shutdown ahead of White House talks

The impasse over paying for Trump’s proposed wall at the U.S.-Mexico border extended the shutdown into a 14th day, but some GOP senators up for re-election in 2020 voiced discomfort. Several are from states where voter views on Trump are mixed.
