The Chief Political Analyst at Fox News has criticized hardline Republicans for killing a border bill negotiated in the Senate.
“I think these are a couple of issues that put Republicans in peril of looking like literally a do-nothing Congress,” Brit Hume told the station on Wednesday, referring to the border security bill shot down by the House and the potential rejection of funding for Ukraine.
The Context
The GOP-led House struck down the $118 billion bill in the Senate on February 7, with conservative hardliners arguing the legislation does not go far enough in its efforts to end illegal immigration.
What We Know
A bill of around $95.3 billion in Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan was approved in a vote in the Senate on Tuesday, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has said it won’t make it to the House floor.
The package includes $9.15 billion in humanitarian aid to give to conflict zones like Gaza, the West Bank and Ukraine.
