For the second time in three months, a bipartisan border security measure failed to advance in the U.S. Senate. The bill, backed by some Democrats and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, was blocked by GOP opposition and divisions within the Democratic party. The vote was 43-50, falling short of the 60 votes needed to advance. The $22.5 billion proposal aimed to address issues such as the broken asylum system, the flow of fentanyl, and border management tools for the President. The failure of the bill is seen as an embarrassment for Schumer and a setback for the White House as it considers executive actions. The vote took place in an election-year showdown and garnered less support than it did in February when first considered.
