A Republican member of the bipartisan conference committee responsible for reaching a deal on border security said Friday that there is “no appetite” in the Capitol for a second government shutdown this year.

Asked in an interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” about the odds of another partial shutdown over President Donald Trump’s demands for border wall money, Tennessee Rep. Chuck Fleischmann answered that they were “nil, or next to nil.”

“In this situation there is no appetite on either side of the aisle and I think in either chamber for another partial government shutdown,” Fleischmann told host Steve Doocy.

The Tennessee congressman said that last month’s shutdown, which was the longest in U.S. history and affected a quarter of the federal government, “was a problem and should have never happened” and he criticized his colleagues in the Senate for declining to take up a Trump-backed bill with wall funding passed by the then-GOP controlled House.
