Senate Passes GOP Border Security Budget, Setting Stage for Clash Over Trump's Agenda

The U.S. Senate passed a budget resolution by a vote of 52-48 to support President Donald Trump’s policies, including border security and tax cuts, as reported by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham.
Trump has rejected the Senate resolution, preferring the version being considered by the House, which has led to divisions among Republicans, according to Sen. John Cornyn.
Senate Democrats opposed the resolution, arguing that it prioritizes tax cuts for the wealthy while cutting essential services, stated Sen. Patty Murray.
The budget plan includes $175 billion for border security and will initiate the reconciliation process, allowing for legislation on Trump’s agenda, as confirmed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
