Sen. Rick Scott Tears Into Colleagues’ Proposal

Sen. Rick Scott, one of Trump’s closest allies, is trashing a proposal to fund the Department of Homeland Security through a budget reconciliation package. He says it’s a ‘pipe dream’ and won’t work. The plan, presented to Trump by Sen. Katie Britt, aims to reopen DHS by funding emergency removal operations. But Scott’s not buying it. He’s calling out his GOP colleagues for what he sees as a ridiculous idea.

A Plan That’s Doomed to Fail?

It’s hard to blame Scott for his skepticism. The proposal seems like a long shot, and it’s unlikely to get the necessary support. Scott’s comments are a clear indication that the plan is in trouble. It’s just the latest development in the ongoing battle over DHS funding, and it’s anyone’s guess how it’ll all play out.
