The Senate has yet to vote on the national security package, but the president is already pinning its demise on his likely 2024 rival.

The bipartisan border deal appears on the verge of combustion, and President Joe Biden on Tuesday placed the blame for that squarely on Donald Trump.

“All indications are this bill won’t even move forward to the Senate floor. Why? A simple reason: Donald Trump. Because Donald Trump thinks it’s bad for him politically,” Biden said in remarks from the State Dining Room.

“He’d rather weaponize this issue than actually solve it. So for the last 24 hours, he’s done nothing, I’m told, but reach out to Republicans in the House and the Senate and threaten them and try to intimidate them to vote against this proposal,” the president said. “And looks like they’re caving.”

    Yeah, it’s super frustrating that we can’t get Ukraine the aide they need, because yes, screw Russia and every other country that thinks they can just conquer and plunder like it’s the 19th century or earlier again

    There’s increasingly no point negotiating them because nothing will satisfy their hunger other than authoritarian rule

    110% agreed, now somebody find a way to get this message across to the heartless bastards running the Democratic party right now who think it’s ok to play chicken with migrants and asylum seekers to score some cheap political points
