Senate Votes To Block President Trump's Emergency Declaration

The Senate voted on President Trump's border emergency declaration, with 54 in favor and 41 against, including 11 Republicans siding with Democrats. However, the vote fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a likely presidential veto. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urged Republicans to support the resolution to uphold constitutional powers and restore military funds. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell argued that Democrats were creating a false choice between border security and military projects.
