Watching Jeffries speech now. Let's get it done.

According to WaPo on the border bill. So, Joe gets what he wants, albeit delayed for 5 months, and doesn't have to concede any border stuff. Weird GOP 3D chess.

The House plans to vote separately Saturday on the four bills. The House is also set to consider a fifth bill of GOP priorities to secure the border, but it will mostly likely fail because it requires a two-thirds vote, unlike the other bills, which require a simple majority.


EDIT: done deal!

Joe & Jeffries, think your best shot for continued bi-partisanship is Mike. Gotta support him if there's a vacate motion.
