GOP Struggles Over Bipartisan Border Deal Amid Trump's Opposition
The proposed $106 billion package, including aid for Ukraine and US border security measures, faces uncertainty as Republicans grapple with Trump's directive to reject the deal.
- Senate Republicans are struggling to proceed with a bipartisan border deal after former President Donald Trump directed them to reject it, fearing it would give President Joe Biden a win ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
- The proposed $106 billion package, which includes aid for Ukraine and Israel, as well as US border security measures, is reportedly 'extremely close' to being finalized.
- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell acknowledged the 'quandary' Republicans find themselves in, noting that moving against Trump could divide the party and threaten plans to recapture the Senate.
- Despite this, some Republicans have expressed their disappointment at Trump's interference, with Senator Mitt Romney calling it 'appalling'.
- McConnell has suggested separating the border provisions from the larger package to preserve Ukraine aid, a high priority for the GOP leader.
