$118B border bill officially dead in the Senate
The Senate’s $118 billion border deal officially crashed and burned Wednesday, as the upper chamber was ready put the nation’s migration crisis on the back burner by prepping a bill that would provide $95 billion in military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. NY Post Politics Reporter Ryan King shares this story.
Almost exactly 24 hours after Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told reporters the supplemental spending package had “no real chance” of becoming law, the measure came up 11 votes short of clearing the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster.
Democrats Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Alex Padilla of California joined 44 Republicans in voting against advancing the bill, along with Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who voted “nay” for procedural reasons in order to permit himself to advance the bill later.
Joining 45 Democrats in voting to advance the bill were GOP negotiator James Lankford (R-Okla.) and his fellow Republicans Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
