Vice President Mike Pence is meeting with five Republican senators to pressure them against rebuking President Donald Trump over his national emergency declaration on the southern border
Washington Vice President Mike Pence is meeting privately with five Republican senators on Tuesday as the White House continues to ramp up pressure on lawmakers rebuking President Donald Trump over his national emergency declaration on the southern border.
The vice president is expected to sit down with Sens. Thom Tillis, Mike Lee, Rob Portman, Pat Toomey and Lamar Alexander, according to an administration official, as the West Wing is becoming increasingly concerned that the vote will turn into an embarrassing rebuke for Trump. So far, four Republicans -- Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul and Tillis -- have said they will support the resolution, which amounts to a presidential admonishment.
