Republicans Flee Congress to Avoid Voting on Trump Slush Fund
Negotiations surrounding a significant immigration enforcement bill, initially slated for a vote this week, have stalled. Democrats’ proposed amendments, designed to force Republican votes on controversial funding elements, have led to a Republican withdrawal from the legislative process. This move, compounded by internal Republican divisions and strong opposition to certain funding provisions, including a controversial “slush fund” and funding for a “Trump ballroom,” has indefinitely postponed any potential vote on the legislation.
