Mitch McConnell (R-KY) argued that Democratic leaders in the Senate are worried that an amendment attaching the reinstatement of Title 42 to the coronavirus spending bill will end up passing due to the number of Senate Democrats who oppose lifting Title 42 and that\u2019s why they\u2019re trying to prevent the amendment from being voted on.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell said, [relevant remarks begin around 00:30] \u201cWe had agreed to a $10 billion package paid for \u2014 by that, I mean using re-purposed funds from the $2 trillion package the Democrats jammed through on a party-line basis last year. So it wasn\u2019t new money, reprogrammed existing money. But, in the meantime\u2026there was the decision about Title 42 and wreaking further havoc at the border with the argument that somehow COVID was behind us, making that same argument at the same time. So all we said was, we want to offer an amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cI think it\u2019s entirely relevant to the decision on the $10 billion. And all we were asking for is an amendment. I think the majority leaders are afraid the amendment would pass because a number of his members agreed with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Ian\u00a0Hanchett on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cSpecial Report,\u201d Senate Minority Leader Sen.
