"McConnell's Doubt: Trump's Opposition Could Sink Border Deal Vote"

TL;DR Summary
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has expressed doubt about the bipartisan border deal, citing former President Donald Trump's opposition as a complicating factor that may sink the agreement. McConnell's remarks reflect the challenges facing Senate negotiators as they work to finalize immigration legislation, with Trump actively campaigning against the proposed compromise. The deal's fate is further complicated by the GOP's tie of Ukraine aid to the agreement, and the need to secure majority support from Senate Republicans and persuade the House to take it up.
