The bill is likely to fail for a second time, but Democrats will try to use Republicans' resistance to shift the narrative on border security in their favor.
Washington — The Senate is expected to vote Thursday on a bipartisan border security measure that Republicans blocked earlier this year after former President Donald Trump announced his opposition to it. The bill is likely to fail for a second time, but Democrats will try to use Republicans' resistance to shift public opinion in their favor as polls show voters have been critical of President Biden's handling of immigration.
On Monday, Mr. Biden spoke to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, and told them to 'stop playing politics and act quickly to pass this bipartisan border legislation,' according to a White House summary of the conversations.House Republican leadership said earlier Monday the bill was 'dead on arrival' in the lower chamber in the unlikely event that it makes it out of the Senate.
