Trump: If it was up to me, I'd shut down the government over border security

President Donald Trump said he won't consider a government shutdown over funding for his proposed border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border until after the November midterm elections.

In an interview with "Fox & Friends" that aired Friday, Trump said he doesn't want to hurt the Republican party's chances during midterms. If it was up to him, Trump said, he would "shut down the government over border security."

"We need Republicans elected in the midterms," Trump said. "We are getting the wall done. But I've had so many people, good people, great people, they would rather not do [it] before [the midterms], they'd rather do it right after the election."
