Senate Republicans blocked a major bipartisan border deal and foreign aid package with assistance for Ukraine and Israel in a key vote on Wednesday amid a torrent of attacks on the bill by former President Donald Trump and top House Republicans.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to force a procedural vote on an emergency aid package for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan — and drop the border deal.
Bob Menendez of New Jersey and Alex Padilla of California have both forcefully attacked the border deal.
Schumer has harshly criticized Senate Republicans for opposing the package, accusing them of following Trump’s marching orders.
“And instead of standing up to Donald Trump, Senate Republicans are ready to kill our best chance at fixing the border.”“They want amendments?
