McConnell rejects nuclear option for wall funding vote
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rejected Donald Trump’s call to use the “nuclear option” of ending the filibuster to pass funding for a border wall.
“The Leader has said for years that the votes are not there in the Conference to use the nuclear option.
Just this morning, several Senators put out statements confirming their opposition, and confirming that there is not a majority in the conference to go down that road,” said McConnell communications director David Popp, according to the Hill.
