News roundup: Republicans worry and Democrats cautious as Trump makes deals with the minority party

Republicans worry and Democrats cautious as Trump makes deals with the minority party. Lee votes against Harvey aid, debt ceiling deal. Herbert testifies before the Senate.

Happy Friday. Republicans are carefully watching -- and some are raising concerns -- after President Donald Trump struck several deals with Democrats in recent days. In the span of 48 hours, Trump cut a deal with Democrats to keep the government funded and raise the nation’s borrowing authority, advanced talks with the senior Senate Democrat on a permanent debt ceiling solution and followed the advice of the top House Democrat, who urged him to use Twitter to ease the fears of young undocumented immigrants.
