Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters as he left the Capitol, “I hope we can get these issues resolved. GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters that he is one of the senators blocking the deal, though Thune noted that Graham is not the only Republican with concerns. This comes after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social in favor of the Senate moving forward with their agreement. However, Graham told reporters on Thursday night that the Senate Ethics Committee informed him that he cannot benefit financially from this measure. I want notification,” he told reporters.
