Yes, the president and Congress just sparred over the border wall during the 35-day shutdown which ended this past January. But, President Trump’s national emergency declaration may have doomed any charity left in Congress. President Trump’s budget request calls for $8.6 billion in wall funding for FY ‘20. McConnell, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., routinely have pilloried Dems over their own internal divides. And the national emergency declaration likely will create yet another standoff over the border wall in September.
