Democratic Senator John Fetterman delivered a blunt message to GOP lawmakers opposing a $118 billion Senate bill that would address U.S.-Mexico border security and aid for U.S. allies.
Conservatives in both the House and Senate are rejecting the deal brokered by a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers, arguing that it does not go far enough to secure the southern border amid the surge in migrant arrivals. Several Republican senators have voiced opposition to the bill, raising questions about whether it has the votes needed to pass.
Fetterman called out Republicans opposing the bill and former President Donald Trump, who is also against the legislation.

"It's time for the GOP to get their balls out of Trump's desk and vote for what you've just been yelling for for the last months, and we need to stand with all of it," the Pennsylvania Democrat told Newsweek Tuesday.
