President Donald Trump told reporters that he is not sure if he has lost control over the Republican majority in the Senate, as senators prepare to advance a bill for border security funding, without the $1 billion he requested for a controversial ballroom at the White House. Trump emphasized that he does not need money for this project and criticized reports about the necessity of public funds, considering them erroneous. He mentioned that the work on the ballroom is being done in collaboration with the military and the Secret Service, being on the right track. Despite his request, members of the Republican Party have expressed concerns about costs and the justification for the request, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune acknowledged voting issues among his colleagues. The bill is expected to be approved before the Memorial Day holiday.
