Republican Senators Face Threats Over Border Bill: Live Updates

Sen. James Lankford revealed that a popular right-wing media figure threatened to "destroy" him if he moved a sweeping immigration bill before the presidential election, with MAGA radio host Jesse Kelly taking credit for the threat. Despite intense negotiations and Republican demands for stringent border security measures, the bill was torpedoed by former President Donald Trump and his allies. Lankford criticized his GOP colleagues for not solving problems, and conservative media figures have worked to undermine the bill, misrepresenting its provisions. Trump has also falsely claimed he never endorsed Lankford for his Senate election.
