“Hopefully, he’ll give some of us a pass on this,” one Republican who voted against the president’s wishes said.
“I think it’s going to be a great election issue," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Thursday, after claiming that scholars had found his resolution"totally constitutional.""It’s pure and simple, it’s a vote for border security, it’s a vote for no crime.”
North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, who is up for reelection in 2020 in a Trump-won state, had planned to vote in favor of the resolution — he was so opposed to the president’s maneuver thatabout his position. But just before the vote, he said he changed his mind and voted with Trump, saying"the White House has been very gracious" in talking through his concerns about the use of national emergency declarations.
“I think the president knows there are two types of people voting against the emergency declaration … He understands that people like myself and Rand are taking principled votes, but I think he also understands there are members of Congress in the Senate who are not supportive of the wall and are not supportive of the president’s policies, or are just afraid of losing their next election,” Massie said.
"Do Republican voters believe you're doing it for actual, thoughtful reasons or to virtue signal to the left?," the source said.
