Re: TRUMPS’ Dirty Election Tricks-BLOCKS Border Bill/Hopes US Economy Crashes Under B
TRUMP Orders Republicans to BLOCK New Border Bill That THEY Had Demanded
--House Speaker Mike Johnson sidestepped questions why
2024 Election: "TRUMP Wants CHAOS. He Does NOT Want Biden to Have Success at The Border," Schumer said.
AP 10 FEB 2024
TRUMPS’ Dirty Tricks - says he hopes the U.S. economy crashes, all in an effort to boost his' re-election bid.
Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan border package Wednesday, scuttling months of negotiations with Democrats on legislation intended to cut back record numbers of illegal border crossings.
Many Republicans said the election-year compromise wasn’t enough, even as supporters of the bill insisted it was the best possible in divided government.
The 49-50 vote, far short of the 60 ayes needed to take up the bill, came after most Republicans said they would vote against the legislation, which also includes $60 billion in wartime aid to Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel. GOP lawmakers had insisted that the money for conflicts abroad be paired with help for the U.S. border.
Forcing the showdown with Republicans, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said earlier that he would try to salvage the wartime funding, and would next push ahead on a crucial test vote for tens of billions of dollars for Kyiv, Israel and other U.S. allies — a modified package with the border portion stripped out.
It is unclear if enough Republicans will vote to move ahead with the standalone legislation for the wartime aid, which also would need 60 votes in the 51-49 Senate. If it did pass, it would still take days for the Senate to reach a final vote.

I hope it isn’t lost on people how sick and despicable this is. Literally choosing ONE man over the country, our allies, and honestly, this country’s future.
@efosao
So they can keep blaming Biden for a problem THEY refused to fix.
@thebluearrow8996
The Dems should thank the G0P for giving them the upper hand on the border issue. That will be nice and handy come November.

GOP: "In times of crisis and chaos, doing nothing is always better than doing something." Sadly many Americans are BRAINWASHED
