Joe Biden called out Donald Trump for working to scuttle a bill to address national security and the border, even though it was negotiated over months by both parties in the Senate.
Calling the it “the strongest border bill the country has ever seen,” Biden called on GOP lawmakers “to show some spine to do what they know to be right.”
“I’m calling on Congress to pass this bill so it gets to my desk immediately. But if the bill fails, I want to be absolutely clear about something: The American people are going to know what it failed.” He said that after initially calling for a border bill, Republicans reversed themselves after Trump made it clear he did not want the issue settled before the November election.
“Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends,” Biden said. “It’s time for Republicans in Congress to show a little courage, to show a little spine, to make it clear to the American people that you work for them, not for anyone else.”
After his remarks, Biden answered a couple of questions, but told reporters that he would answering questions on Thursday on ongoing negotiations over the release of hostages by Hamas. He said that there had been a response to the latest proposal from Hamas but “it seems to be a little over the top.”
