Senate Republicans are eager to avoid conflict with the president — who just made things harder for them with his new demands for wall funding
Senate Republicans are trying to head off a collision with President Donald Trump over the border wall this week, even as his new budget demands ensure the painful political battle will extend into the fall.
Two GOP senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, discussed the potential changes to the law with the White House over the weekend. Tillis opposes Trump’s national emergency declaration and Lee is undecided on how he will vote. Roughly a dozen GOP senators are weighing whether to vote against the White House.
A person close to the White House said it’s unlikely the president would agree to a compromise that curtails executive power.
