"Trump's Opposition to Biden's Border Deal Sparks GOP Infighting"
Former President Donald Trump criticized the bipartisan border deal being negotiated in the Senate, arguing that a bad deal is worse than no deal at all. The deal would grant President Joe Biden the authority to close the border if certain triggers for daily crossings are met. Biden has expressed support for the deal, calling it the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border. Trump's opposition has thrown Senate talks into chaos, with some Senate Republicans on board but Trump-aligned House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson, less supportive. Trump has made immigration reform and the border a central focus of his presidential campaign.
