Deep dives
Border and national security bill fails to pass in Senate
The 118 billion dollar bipartisan border and national security bill failed to pass in the Senate. The bill aimed to give the president the power to shut down the border under certain conditions, while expediting the asylum review process. It also allocated funds for Ukraine, Israel, and provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine, Gaza, and the West Bank. The legislation received 49 yays and 50 nays, with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Chuck Schumer voting against. However, Schumer's procedural move allows him to bring back the bill for reconsideration.
Nikki Haley comes in second place in Nevada primary
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley placed second in the Nevada primary, even though no other major contenders were on the ballot. Over 60 percent of voters selected 'None of these candidates' option. Despite the unexpected results, Haley's campaign plans to continue and focus on future states like South Carolina. Current GOP front-runner Donald Trump did not participate in the primary, opting for the state's party-run caucuses. The state GOP decided that only candidates participating in the caucuses can win delegates, which only includes Trump at the moment.
