Some GOP senators signal support for House threats to shut down govt over border security battle
Fox News
GOP senators weigh blocking funding until a border security measure is included; negotiations tie it to Ukraine aid in Biden's budget amid looming government deadlines.

The staggered deadlines to fund some government agencies are set for Jan. 19 and Feb. 2. Lawmakers are floating the idea of leveraging the pressure of those deadlines to pass border security measures. The Senate has only passed three of 12 appropriations bills for 2024 and will have just 10 days when they return on Monday to approve the first round of funding for several government agencies.
"All options are on the table," Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, told Fox News Digital in an interview Thursday. "But isn't it ironic we are having to beg the president of the United States to secure the border and that we're going to have to give up something, whether that's Ukraine funding or something to do with the government spending package."
