Chaos has erupted among Senate Republicans debating a sweeping bipartisan border bill so much that screaming could be heard from behind closed doors. This according to from Fox News Capitol Hill reporter Aishah Hasnie, who also reported that even one of the bill’s co-authors, Republican James Lankford, is likely to vote against his own bill in the interest of party unity.

Senate Republicans find themselves in a bit of a sticky situation as House GOP has followed the direction of former President Donald Trump — who is motivated by not giving President Joe Biden a significant win during an election year — and more moderate conservatives (like the editorial board Wall Street Journal) who are calling on passing generational legislation to secure the border.

Appearing on America’s Newsroom, Hasnie reported:

While the past 24 hours have been nothing short of stunning here, we knew that this border deal was dead on arrival in the House, but it’s not likely to make it out of the Senate at all. Republicans are poised to take a procedural vote on this tomorrow, and it’s likely at the author of this big bipartisan deal. The Republican author is likely to vote no on it as well, as well as a Senate majority leader or minority leader.

Senate Republicans met last night at a closed door meeting, which got so heated, Dana, at times that myself and other reporters could actually hear screaming coming from inside the room. When leader Mitch McConnell emerged from the room, he told me that he had a great discussion and that the conference will keep on talking.

Now, Senator James Lankford, the lead GOP negotiator on this, told me it is clear that the majority of the conference is not ready to vote on this thing, but that there is still interest in adding real amendments and shaping into something, perhaps, that they can stomach. He insists, though, the bill is not dead, but it looks like he may also vote no tomorrow, just for the sake of party unity. Democrats are already lashing out on that lead,

Democrat negotiator Chris Murphy tweeting this honestly, this is so embarrassing. You told us you wanted a bipartisan border fix. You appointed the Republican negotiator. We got a deal. Stop the drama. Now, there were three senators on the left that had also rejected the bill. But the goal really here, Dana, was to get half of each conference on board. That is not going to happen. Leader Schumer is expected to go on and put this on the floor for a cloture vote tomorrow. Again, that’s expected to fail. As all eyes now shift to the House where we are watching this impeachment in a few hours
