The Senate reached an agreement on the legislation on Thursday after months of negotiations, including strong objections from President Trump over funding in the legislation for Puerto Rico.

Roy said the bill should also include money for federal agencies managing an influx of migrants arriving at the U.S. border with Mexico — a major priority for Trump.

The Senate decided not to include those funds because they proved too controversial and were holding up the broader agreement on disaster funding for communities hit by wildfires, tornadoes, drought, volcanoes and other natural events.

Trump said Thursday that he intended to support the legislation anyway.

... my guess is the President and Senate decided that wasn’t the hill to die on. The democrats don’t fold on issues like the republicans do, and they get out in the media causing hysteria by blaming the republicans for everything.
