Trump has recently told confidants in influential conservative media and political circles that “stupid” Republicans, particularly “RINOs” in the Senate, seem eager to hand Biden a win as he’s sunk in 2024 polls, and that GOP lawmakers shouldn’t be doing Biden any favors right now, a source familiar with the matter and another person briefed on it tell Rolling Stone. In essence, Republicans are concerned that approving a border deal could potentially benefit Biden in an election year when he’s expected to face off against an ascendant Trump.
Oooh, Trump called the border deal a win
for Biden, lmao.
Well, I agree that this kind of petty political maneuvering is not a good reason to support or oppose any given bill. Nontheless, on the substance, Republicans were imho totally right to block this particular bill.
