The bill would have included some of the most significant changes in immigration policy seen in decades, along with aid for Ukraine and Israel.
But any hope for the deal seemed to be dashed after Trump came out against it, apparently so he could campaign on Biden’s perceived weakness on the border.
Speaking from the White House on Tuesday, Biden vowed to turn Trump’s strategy around on him.
The reliably conservative Border Patrol union endorsed it, and Biden and Republican negotiators repeatedly signaled their joint optimism that a deal would be reached.
“Now, all indications are this bill won’t even move forward to the Senate floor,” Biden said.
