Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Wednesday that President Trump is "very inclined" to declare a national emergency to obtain the necessary funds to build a border wall.
"It's definitely on the table, I'll let him tell you whether or not he's going to do it, but he's very inclined to go that route," Graham, a staunch ally of Trump, told reporters on Capitol Hill.
Trump has for weeks raised the prospect of declaring a national emergency to sidestep Congress and build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The White House has maintained that Trump will build the wall regardless of the final details in a plan to avert another partial government shutdown later this week.
Bipartisan congressional negotiators have reached a budget deal ahead of the Feb. 15 funding deadline that allocates $1.375 billion for a border barrier.
That figure is well below the $5.7 billion Trump demanded during the previous record-long government shutdown, which ended Jan. 25 with a bill fully reopening the government for three weeks.
