The U.S. Senate on Thursday failed to advance border security legislation from a previously abandoned pairing of the provisions with foreign aid to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.
The upper chamber voted 43-50 against advancing the legislation. It would have needed 60 votes to proceed.
Negotiated by Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, and Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., earlier this year, the original plan to pair the border provisions with a $95 billion aid package failed, prompting Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to advance only the foreign aid portion at that time.
