Republican Senator James Lankford said on Tuesday that members of his party are likely to change aspects of the border security bill they crafted.
While appearing on Fox Business Network’s Mornings with Maria, Lankford, who led negotiations on the bipartisan border deal, was asked if Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would allow Republicans to propose amendments to the bill.
“We have to have amendments,” Lankford said. “There are parts that need to be fixed, this is a negotiated agreement but we have demanded there have to be amendments on this bill.”
This is a breaking news story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
