Democrats salivate at GOP's near zero-vote margin as shutdown looms over ICE reform gridlock

Democrats believe a one-vote GOP margin for error in the House of Representatives would give them newfound leverage in negotiations over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other priorities as rumors circulate that yet another Republican may cut his time in office short.

A Republican majority hangs by a thread as questions continue to circulate over whether Rep. Neal Dunn, R-Fla., will resign his seat in the coming days. 

To members like Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., that prospect strengthens Democrats’ hand.
