Trump's Ballroom Construction Faces Setback from Senate Parliamentarian
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A proposal to allocate $1 billion for security upgrades at the White House and President Trump's new ballroom has been deemed procedurally flawed by the Senate parliamentarian. This setback affects Republican plans to include it in a budget bill for immigration agencies. The parliamentarian's ruling indicates that such a large project cannot be included in the restricted budget bill, which only requires a simple majority. Democrats have criticized Republicans for prioritizing the ballroom over aiding Americans facing rising costs. Meanwhile, Republicans assert that private donations will fund the ballroom, while federal dollars will focus on necessary security improvements.
