Senate Republicans to block Ukraine funding

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) is urging GOP colleagues to vote against the motion to proceed, insisting that major immigration and policy reforms be included in whatever package Schumer brings to the floor.  

“I’m advocating and I hope all of our members vote no on the motion to proceed to the shell [bill] to make the point, hopefully for the final time, that we insist on meaningful changes to the border,” McConnell told reporters Tuesday afternoon.
