Thune ‘hopeful’ Senate can start voting on reconciliation bill Wednesday

Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed hope that the Senate could begin voting on the GOP's immigration enforcement bill Wednesday after Republican senators felt satisfied with acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's renunciation of the Justice Department's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund.' However, Thune did not confirm securing enough votes to defeat amendments targeting the fund, as some GOP senators remain likely to support proposals to curtail or eliminate it.
