Republican senators can no longer plaster over the divisions Donald Trump is bringing to their party. After a turbulent sequence of events in which the administration had constant disagreements with GOP senators over Trump’s ballroom and a slush fund of $1.8 billion for individuals supposedly targeted by Joe Biden, Republican senators have decided to abandon a bill meant to fund ICE.
According to a report by HuffPost, Trump’s acting Attorney General went to Capitol Hill on Thursday to ease lawmakers’ concerns about the “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” It was a closed-door meeting, but reportedly when Republican senators left, they looked upset and did not want to take questions from the press.
