on for 35 days. >> serena marshall joins us for more. with the looks on the houses, one of the big questions, a day after the state of the union speech, do democrats feel there's anything in the president's speech they can get behind? >> the president, kenneth, did talk about issues they both can come to terms with. he called for an end to aids and infrastructure and he touted historic -- historic -- excuse me, historic prison reform and they just signed that last year into law. that was a bipartisan effort as well. those topics are topics that both sides can come together on. the question is if those issues will actually come up in the next year. if they will work together, because the biggest divisive issue remains the border wall and budget, and they have ten days before another shutdown will occur and it seems, at this

point, they are not moving towards a compromise, even as the president was calling for compromise on these topics. >> serena, another question. what comes next? we are nine days out from the february 15th deadline. is there another shutdown looming? >> reporter: yes, definitely, janai. doesn't look like there will be a compromise worked out whatsoever. the president was saying we need to come together, work together and do what is in the best interest of our country, and when it comes to the border wall, we did not hear a lot about compromise coming from the president on that topic. he was touting immigration, the problems it does for the country. you could see the democratic side not exactly not applauding for it but looking on in disbelief. kamala harris was scoffing at some of the things the president said and other democrats and speaker pelosi as well. when it comes to immigration, it remains deeply divisive. whether or not they will be able to do it is a big question mark. the president not taking national security declaration off the table at this point. >> thank you, serena.

we will watch for much more reaction in the hours after the state of the union. serena, thank you. this is president trump's first time in front of a divided congress. many people saying the house chamber now led by democrats looks more like america, so many more women, so much more diversity, a lot of the women wearing white to send a message to the president and applauding him at one point. >> they do. a lot of reaction still to come this morning. turning to a new possible challenger in 2020. after coming close to unseating senator ted cruz, beto o'rourke says he wants to help unify the country. o'rourke told oprah winfrey that he will make a decision about joining the already crowded field of democrats by the end of the month. >> have you given yourself a deadline? i'm serious about that. you have given yourself one? >> the serious answer is really soon. >> o'rourke has three kids under the age of 13. he said the decision to run would be up to his family. that special with oprah airs on february 16th.
