Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the shocking decision to recommend Republicans block the advancement of the Senate pro-migration border bill.

That first procedural vote was set for Wednesday. It is unknown if Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will forge ahead

..... Snip.....

The longtime Republican leader has spoken in favor of the deal and did not express any personal hesitations about the legislation to his colleagues

Even Lankford, who continued championing the deal leading up to Monday night’s Senate Republican Conference meeting, would not say after the meeting if he would vote to move forward Wednesday on the deal he negotiated,

What happened is McConnell is worried about his cotton pickin job being in jeopardy due to the heat that's been pouring in all day. As for Lankford, he's a done deal.

Maybe he read his constituents' emails?

This is simply a tactical retreat.

They're going to put together a new bill at 3AM on Saturday morning and ram it through.

And of course, the bill will be called some glitzy pro-American name such as "All-American Border Act of 2024"

If anyone believes a word from McConnell’s mouth or that he really cares about the (used to be) United States, I have a bridge to sell them on the moon...

He got elected in 2022 so has no worries for the next four years. But his political career should be done. I hope.

I’d never heard of this worm Lankford before - seems we have another quisling Republican to deal with.
