Senate Democrats announce strategy to block $1 billion White House security funding for ballroom in Republican budget bill
Senate Republicans included $1 billion for White House security, including funding for a ballroom project, in a reconciliation spending bill that also restores immigration enforcement funding. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer announced Monday that Democrats will use legislative maneuvers including Byrd Rule challenges and floor amendments to block the provision. The security funding was proposed following an assassination attempt on President Trump at a White House event.
