“I don’t want to comment until I see the deal, but as you know, they’re negotiating a deal,” Trump told reporters Tuesday in the Oval Office. “I don’t think we want to cut off Homeland Security Investigations.”The House would also need to pass any deal that Senate Republicans strike with Democrats. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) may need Democrats to pass any DHS funding legislation because House Republicans have a perilously narrow majority. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) would not say Tuesday whether House Democrats support the Republican proposal, telling reporters that he plans to speak with Schumer. Sen. Lindsey Graham (South Carolina), one of the Republicans who met with Trump at the White House on Monday, said he thought Trump would ultimately support Senate Republicans’ proposal.
