Senate Democrats Push for Second Vote on Controversial Border Bill

Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan border security bill for the second time, thwarting Democrats' efforts to address immigration issues ahead of the election. The 43-50 vote fell short of the 60 needed to advance the legislation, which was abandoned by Republicans following Donald Trump's opposition. Democrats aimed to highlight Republican inaction on border security, while Republicans accused Democrats of political maneuvering. The bill proposed stricter asylum rules and expanded detention facilities but faced opposition from both conservative and liberal factions.
