McConnell: Trump could 'win' on national emergency fight
enate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Tuesday that President Trump could "prevail" in the fight with Congress over an emergency declaration to build the U.S.-Mexico border wall by vetoing a potential resolution.
McConnell, speaking with Fox News's Martha MacCallum, declined to say how he would vote on a potential resolution of disapproval, but predicted that it "wouldn't be without controversy" if the president declares a national emergency.
"I think there are different opinions about it, and if he goes that route we'll just hash it out," McConnell said, asked if thought Republicans would line up behind Trump if he declares a national emergency.
The Senate GOP leader added that Trump could "prevail" in a potential fight with Congress by vetoing a resolution of disapproval if it reaches his desk. The the resolution would initially only need to be able to garner a simple majority in both chambers, Democrats would then need two-thirds support in both chambers in order to override a veto.
