Senate Democrats removed the border security part of a broader legislative package that includes military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, after a majority of Republicans made it clear they won't support the measures negotiated by members of both parties during the past weeks.
The planned vote is set to take place on Wednesday, and it needs to get at least 60 votes to move forward to the actual vote. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who was among the few Republicans who supported the border provisions, backed the modified initiative.
