In the face of impending Senate action on border security, funds for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen stands as the primary intermediary between the House and Senate. A great deal of work sits on his shoulders, yet he seems to express a certain degree of frustration with the White House for its late engagement in negotiation – a crucial process that has been in limbo for months.
Senator Mullen disclosed that the biggest mistake was the presumption that negotiating with Schumer was plausible. Now, it has come to light that Schumer is simply an extension of Biden's administration. The White House's last-minute involvement has complicated the matter further, making the timely accomplishment of true border security and reforms nearly impossible.
