The former president has left the Republican Party in a „jeopardy,“ according to the minority leader. This worsened the prospects for a deal and the fate of aid to Ukraine tied to by Republicans.
Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader, told Republicans on Wednesday that Trump's rise and hostility to the deal has complicated the politics of the issue and that the party has “ He said privately that he was in a „predicament.“ He spoke on the condition of anonymity and gave his comments.
The comments, first reported by Punchbowl News, were shocking coming from a Republican who has worked to distance himself and his party from the former president. Mr. McConnell has been a vocal supporter of a border compromise and an advocate of tens of billions of dollars in military aid transfers to stalled Ukraine, but Republicans say they need to be tied to the deal. ing.
Mr. McConnell's sudden change in tone reflects the increasingly difficult task facing Senate negotiators as they rush to finalize an immigration bill that the former president has already campaigned aggressively against.
Even though I came across that bar in Senate, Chairman Mike Johnson has cast doubt on whether it will ever be brought to the full House of Commons, where far-right lawmakers are fiercely opposed.
McConnell spoke Wednesday during a closed-door session at the Capitol to discuss the Ukraine war, convened at the request of Sen. Ron Johnson, Republican of Wisconsin, who is among those questioning the border agreement. He addressed Republican lawmakers. .
Mr Johnson said of this week's border negotiations: „Literally, what is an acceptable response other than to say, „Oh, this is great, we're getting something we never thought we'd get.''

Despite the fact that the new deal did not meet all Republican demands, some Republicans still argued that it was worth supporting.
„That's more than enough for me,“ North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis said as he left the meeting. „If you're intellectually honest with yourself, you know these are extraordinary tools for President Trump. I think so.'' “If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it that day.”
Some may say that the Unionist Party will go on strike again.
