Sen. Ron Johnson made no secret of his displeasure with Donald Trump declaring a national emergency to build his border wall, worrying in late January that the president would take the “Emergency Act beyond where it’s ever been.”
Johnson’s pointed defense of the president comes amid a week of growing tension in the Senate Republican caucus about Trump’s plan to shift billions from military construction projects to fund the wall after Congress refused to give him the money. Sen. Pat Roberts told fellow Republicans on Wednesday that he’d received a call from a White House official over the weekend after the retiring GOP senator had expressed indecision on his stance, according to an attendee and a person familiar with the meeting. The Agriculture Committee chairman recounted out loud to his colleagues that he needs to weigh multiple factors as he assesses his vote, including whether the president will sign agriculture legislation from his committee.
“The president is paying close attention,” said Sen. John Cornyn , who backs the president. “He wants Republicans to support his position, and clearly some Republicans have some problems with it.”
