Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) “is expecting a new border security offer from Republicans on Thursday and further talks, possibly through the weekend, if his GOP counterparts move on their position,” Politico reports.
Said Murphy: “I’m willing to talk about it if it’s something that can get Democratic votes. Right now, there’s no question you need a huge number of Democratic votes, especially in the House, to pass the kind of package that Senate Republicans are envisioning.”
