Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican and adviser to Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, expresses 'serious concerns' about the Senate's bipartisan border bill. Cornyn's shift in stance comes after being a vocal supporter of the negotiations that led to the package. His reservations underscore the challenges the bill faces in the Senate to garner the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Other senators, including Sen. Chris Murphy, have expressed skepticism about the bill's prospects in the Senate, with Murphy stating that Republicans have sided with Donald Trump and are content with the chaos at the border for political gain.

I asked Sen. Murphy if there’s any hope for the border deal in the Senate. “No,” he said flat out. “Republicans have definitively sided with Donald Trump. They've decided they want to keep chaos at the border because it is a political winner for them”
