"Sen. Rick Scott doubts Schumer's ability to pass supplemental without stronger border security"

Senator Rick Scott believes that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer does not have enough votes to pass President Biden's $106 billion national security supplemental package without including stricter border security provisions. Republicans have been pushing for stronger border measures, such as more border patrol agents and tougher asylum processing standards, while Democrats have shown resistance to changing border policies. The question now is whether Republicans will seek straightforward modifications or tie Ukraine aid to a decrease in border crossings. Schumer would need nine Republicans to vote alongside Democrats for the package to pass in the Senate, and any agreement would also need to pass the GOP-controlled House before reaching Biden's desk.
