Senate regroups after dramatic collapse of border deal with Schumer backup plan

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) intends to hold a vote Wednesday on an Israel and Ukraine aid package stripped of a bipartisan border security deal that Republicans rejected.

First, Schumer plans to hold a procedural vote on the legislation that includes funding for Ukraine, Israel, and the border security provisions, a political move to give battleground state Democrats the chance to vote for it and argue that they tried to fix the crisis at the border but that it was blocked by Republicans.
