Thune reveals reason Democrats are 'scared' to reopen DHS

FIRST ON FOX: The top Senate Republican argued that while Senate Democrats may be the ones voting against reopening the government, they're not the ones calling the shots.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Fox News Digital in an interview that as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown continues, it's Democrats' voters who are pushing them to continue blocking funding for the agency.

"The Democrats up here on the Hill are so afraid of their far-left base," Thune said.
