I find it interesting how McConnell is simultaneously going along with a plan to obstruct any and all progress on immigration to make Biden look bad and Trump look good... and also, leaking that that's exactly what he's doing.

That's some weird 4D chess he's playing.

That's not why. It's just a garbage bill.

Except that several Republicans, including McConnell, have openly admitted that's why. McConnell said the other day that the politics on the border bill have changed and he's opposing it because he doesn't want to do anything to undermine Trump, who is the presumptive nominee.

The Republican Party's prioritization of political maneuvering over the well-being of the nation is deeply concerning. Their blatant disregard for the humanitarian crisis at the border, solely to protect the interests of a single individual, is a betrayal of their sworn duty to the American people. This partisan strategy puts the lives of innocent children and families at risk and further erodes public trust in our government. It is imperative that our elected officials act in the best interests of the country, not their own political ambitions.
