Thursday marked 100 days since it failed the first time, which Schumer spotlighted in a speech on the Senate floor. He accused Republicans of being the ones playing politics with the border by opposing the measure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only way we fix the border long term is through bipartisan legislation, like the one we had in the Senate three months ago,\u201d Schumer said. \u201cBut as we all know, Donald Trump swooped in and told his MAGA supporters to kill the bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lankford holds little hope for accomplishing anything on the subject before Election Day due to a general lack of \u201centhusiasm.\u201d He criticized his own party by drawing parallels between Democrats rehashing the bipartisan deal to Senate Republicans trying to take up the House\u2019s conservative border bill known as H.R. 2, both of which he emphasized were futile actions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lankford further criticized the politics behind some Democrats not wanting to anger their base and some in the GOP not wanting to give Biden an election-year policy win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody in America sees this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Democrats refiled a failed bipartisan border security bill, aiming to prompt Republicans to oppose their own crafted legislation before the election.
