THE HILL: Evening Report — Senate Border Push Flames Out
February 9, 2024
Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a months-long push to advance bipartisan border legislation, effectively punting on the issue until after the November election.
The motion to proceed on the bill fell 11 votes short of the 60 votes needed. Only four Republicans — Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitt Romney (Utah) and James Lankford (Okla.), who negotiated the bill for the GOP — voted to proceed.
ROKK Co-Founders and Partners Ron Bonjean and Rodell Mollineau spoke to The Hill on the risks both parties face if Congress pushes the immigration issue past the 2024 election.
