Trump warns GOP senators wavering on emergency declaration
President Donald Trump issued a warning Monday to GOP senators considering voting to block his declaration of a national emergency at the southern border, suggesting that those who do have fallen into a “trap” set by Democrats.
“I hope our great Republican Senators don’t get led down the path of weak and ineffective Border Security,” he wrote on Twitter. “Without strong Borders, we don’t have a Country - and the voters are on board with us. Be strong and smart, don’t fall into the Democrats “trap” of Open Borders and Crime!”
The House is set to vote on Tuesday on a resolution of disapproval that would block the president's national emergency declaration. The measure is expected to easily pass the House before heading to the Senate, which will be forced to vote on the measure.
Though Republicans have a slight majority in the Senate, the resolution requires only a simple majority to pass, meaning only a small handful of GOP votes would be needed to join with Democrats in order to send the measure to the president's desk. Trump would be almost sure to veto the resolution if it were to pass both houses of Congress, all but killing it, since the measure would not likely have sufficient support to override that veto.
