Politico: “House Republicans spent weeks crafting a ‘compromise’ immigration bill slated to hit the House floor Thursday — one that tracks with President Trump’s call to beef up border security and shield Dreamers from deportation.”
“But the only question going into the big vote is how badly it fails.”
The Washington Post reports that Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) “did not concede defeat” but repeatedly referenced the prospect of both bills failing and characterized scheduled votes as “a legitimate exercise.”
“Several Republican aides and lawmakers said Trump undermined prospects for success in the House on Thursday with a morning tweet that cast doubt on whether any Republican immigration legislation could pass the Senate.”
