Democrats say they’re no longer willing to throw cash to President Donald Trump for his border demands.
But they still can’t escape making a deal with Trump — a scenario that could divide the caucus over exactly how far to take their fight against the president.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) are preparing to rebuff Trump’s requests for additional wall money this month as payback for Trump’s summer of hard-line immigration moves — a position that’s in contrast to the billions of dollars that Democrats have handed over for border fencing and security since the start of Trump’s term, according to half a dozen lawmakers and aides.
