Newly sworn-in Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, wants to get a border bill on President-elect Trump's desk right away, and he wants to force Democrats to vote on it. Moreno aims to tackle the crisis on the southern border by funding deportations, securing the border, and finishing the wall. He believes the legislation could receive enough votes on the floor and hopes to get a bill in front of President Trump soon. However, in order to pass the Senate, the measure would need at least 60 votes, meaning Democratic support would be necessary. Senate Majority Leader John Thune could bring border measures to the floor for votes and put Democratic senators on record.
