Senate Parliamentarian Blocks $1 Billion Security Proposal for White House
The Senate parliamentarian has ruled against a $1 billion proposal for security enhancements at the White House, including President Trump's new ballroom. This decision, described by Senate Democrats, prevents the inclusion of the funding in a broader GOP budget bill aimed at supporting immigration enforcement. The ruling indicates that the project is too extensive to be part of the narrow budget bill, which requires only a simple majority to pass. Republicans are now revising the legislation in hopes of salvaging parts of the proposal. The security funding was requested by the Secret Service following an assassination attempt on Trump at a recent event.
