GOP lawmakers skeptical about voting on border deal before Christmas as Dems threaten to delay break
Fox News
Lawmakers continue negotiations on adding stricter border provisions in the billion dollar national security supplemental aid package.
"I don't know that we got enough time to process if the deal came together," Sen. Majority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters Wednesday. "You still got to write it... these are all concepts right now." Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., posted to X, saying that lawmakers still need to determine whether the bill will actually solve problems at the border, and whether it will have any momentum in the House.
"The small group negotiating a 'deal' in secret may reach agreement among themselves, but then we will need time to review it and determine whether it will actually solve the problem and has any chance of passing in the House," Rubio wrote Thursday morning.
