Budget Bill Faces Setback Over Trump Ballroom Funding

A Senate parliamentarian has dealt a blow to a $1 billion security proposal for the White House, ruling that the project is too broad to be included in a budget bill. The proposal, which included funding for President Trump’s new ballroom, was part of a larger immigration bill that Republicans are trying to pass. The ruling, described by Senate Democrats, may impact Republican plans for the bill, which they say they will revise. The decision was first reported by the Associated Press, according to an article in Greenwich Time.
