Is the Border Deal Unraveling?

Playbook: “Late last night, we started getting text messages that the border security deal was unraveling a bit as senior aides and lawmakers were drafting it.”

“It seems as if the deal was announced a bit too early. They agreed on the big issues in principle, but as they put pen to paper, there were both critical issues and ancillary issues that were not yet solved.”

“It’s unclear how serious these problems are at this point. And, fair warning: These deals oftentimes fall apart a few times before they come back together. These problems might very well be solved. The difference is the government shuts down the day after tomorrow, and the House had wanted to vote on this deal this evening.”
