The White House sought to ratchet up public pressure Wednesday on Republicans considering bucking President Trump on his national emergency declaration, dismissing concerns some have voiced about setting an unwise precedent and urging them to stay united.
A pointed tweet from Trump and a public warning from a senior aide came as the administration scrambled to limit GOP defections ahead of a vote next week to nullify Trump’s emergency declaration on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump is attempting to use the declaration to secure more funding for border barriers than Congress has authorized — a move that Democrats and some Republicans have cast as an encroachment on their constitutional powers.
“Senate Republicans are not voting on constitutionality or precedent, they are voting on desperately needed Border Security & the Wall,” Trump said in an early afternoon tweet. “Our Country is being invaded with Drugs, Human Traffickers, & Criminals of all shapes and sizes. That’s what this vote is all about. STAY UNITED!”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has acknowledged that the measure rebuking Trump is likely to pass, but it does not appear to have enough widespread support to survive a threatened presidential veto.
