“The White House has been quietly pressuring Republicans in recent days not to buck President Trump and vote in favor of a resolution that would overturn his national emergency declaration on the southern border, warning those who don’t get in line that there could be 2020 election consequences,” CNN reports.
“Trump’s staff is looking at this two ways: If only four Republicans support the resolution to overturn his emergency declaration, it won’t be as significant of a problem because some opposition is expected. But if that number grows to, say, 10 Republican senators or more, officials are worried about the potential negative optics of opposition from many members of his own party.”
