GOP faces crunch time on Trump border declaration
Senate Republicans have only 24 hours left to come up with a solution to stop a Democratic-backed resolution that chastises President Trump.
The Senate is slated to vote on the disapproval resolution Thursday, and four Republicans have said they will join all 47 Democrats to pass the measure blocking Trump’s emergency declaration to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Republicans are scrambling to iron out their strategy, hunting for an eleventh-hour escape hatch as they near a showdown with Trump, who has threatened to issue his first veto if the resolution of disapproval reaches his desk.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) predicted that votes in support of the measure could reach the high 50s, despite pressure from the White House.
