House Democrats on Tuesday failed to override President Trump’s first veto as part of their battle over border security, representing a victory for the administration that allows the president's declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border to stand. Only 14 Republicans voted in favor of the veto override. TRUMP WILL SIGN BORDER SECURITY BILL, DECLARE NATIONAL EMERGENCY, WHITE HOUSE SAYSTrump had declared the border emergency under a law that lets him shift budget funds to address dire situations. The failure to passs the veto override earned praise from trump, who in a tweet called it a "BIG WIN today on the border." With the House override vote failing, the Senate won't attempt its own override and the veto will stand.
