The resolution would provide $175 billion for border security and $150 billion in military funding. The Senate's adoption is an early step in the process, which requires committees to work out the details of spending, as well as any offsets to help pay for the additional funds. The budget resolution is at odds with the House's approach.

I mean, it may not be going over well, but it is the reality that Democrats face. Elections do have consequences and the American public voted for a Republican trifecta in government.

And they're navigating this sort of next chapter as Democrats have lost a lever of power. And there certainly is tension here. I mean, Democrats say that their phones are ringing off the hook with people calling their offices. Why can't you do X, Y, Z?
