Rand Paul will vote to block emergency declaration, forcing Trump's first presidential veto
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., signaled on Saturday that he will vote to block President Trump’s national emergency declaration to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border — a move that likely gives the Senate enough votes to pass a resolution that would nullify the declaration.
In voicing support for the resolution, Paul joins three other Senate Republicans — Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Thom Tillis of N.C. — who have already said they will vote with Democrats.
