National emergency vote: Senate Republicans on track to rebuke Trump on marquee campaign issue


(CNN) Some Senate Republicans will join with Democrats on Thursday to rebuke President Donald Trump on the central pledge of his presidential campaign, the animating issue of his presidency and the defining action of the last few months. It's not a question of if enough Republicans will support a Democratic resolution to terminate the President's national emergency declaration to build a wall along the US border with Mexico. It's a question of how many. Bottom line: The last-ditch effort to find a way to assuage concerns of Senate Republicans fell apart Wednesday, and the resolution will pass. Trump will be forced to veto the resolution -- the first veto of his presidency.
