President Donald Trump told reporters on Thursday that he does not know if he’s lost his grip on the Republican Senate majority as senators prepare to advance a border security funding bill without the $1 billion he has demanded to fund parts of his controversial White House ballroom.
Asked whether he’s losing control of a Senate majority that has until now been remarkably deferential at the expense of their own authority during an Oval Office appearance with grocery executives and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, Trump replied: “I really don't know. I can tell you, I only do what's right.”
