Ron Johnson Attacks Democrats Over Border Bill Trump Killed

We all know what happened earlier this year when House Republicans and Leader Mike Johnson blew up the border bill negotiated by a bipartisan group of senators at Trump's behest. Negotiations stalled on that along with a host of other issues such as Ukraine aid, but they did finally manage to get the Ukraine aid passed along with funding for Israel and Taiwan.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was asked about all of that during an interview last month as reported by Politico:

After finally getting 70 votes for a $95 billion aid package, including $60 billion for Ukraine, the two leaders now must work together to force the House to move — a task that could prove impossible. Still, they appear mutually aware that it would have proven impossible to get this far without legitimate trust.

That doesn’t mean they’ll stop fighting for an advantage in the battle for the majority. Just ask Schumer about the price McConnell’s GOP might pay for rejecting that border deal.

“We were playing chess, they were playing checkers, and we ended up with a Ukraine bill,” Schumer said. “We also end up in much better shape on the border than we were three months ago.”
