Thursday brings a consequential day for the Republican agenda, as lawmakers on Capitol Hill gather for a marathon voting session that could bring GOP priorities into conflict with those of President Donald Trump. Judging by a pre-vote statement from one senator scorned by Trump, the president faces an uphill battle. <\/p>\n

One of the most discussed votes involves the long-hindered effort to pass an immigration and border control budget reconciliation bill, which has been a thorn in the side of Republicans for several months. While it finally appeared likely to pass in the run-up to the Memorial Day recess, the sudden announcement that Trump would create a \u201cslush fund\u201d to pay convicted J6 criminals stalled the bill, with outraged Republicans saying they would not advance it unless the fund was killed. While the fund has since hit a number of major setbacks, it has not technically been ended<\/u> once and for all. Now, many lawmakers are pushing for an amendment to the reconciliation that would pass it only on the condition that the slush fund is fully banned. <\/p>\n

When asked by CNN correspondent Manu Raju<\/u> about the matter, Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) shared his thoughts in no uncertain terms. <\/p>\n

\u201cEven the AG has said that [the fund] is done, so I don\u2019t know why we don\u2019t just codify it so that we don\u2019t have the Democrats raising the speculation that it could come back at some point,\u201d said Tillis, referring to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche\u2019s recent assertion that the fund was ended, a claim that Trump quickly contradicted<\/u>. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, it was also announced that the president would seek Blanche\u2019s confirmation to the position permanently, an appointment that has drawn skepticism from across the political spectrum over concerns that the role will be weaponized by Blanche, who is Trump\u2019s former personal attorney. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe key to Todd or anybody getting through the judiciary committee would be being pretty tight on January the 6th. They better not have said for one minute that the people who beat up police officers were righteous people. You come even close to saying that you don\u2019t even have a [chance] of getting my vote,\u201d said Tillis. The Senator has frequently bumped heads with Trump, recently declaring that the president\u2019s nominee for Director of National Intelligence doesn\u2019t have a \u201cprayer<\/u>\u201d of getting confirmed. Tillis has also called for his fellow Republicans to speak out against the White House, prompting Trump to call him a \u201cnitpicker<\/u>.\u201d <\/p>\n

When it was pointed out that Trump and Blanche had made opposing statements about the fund, Tillis wasn\u2019t having it. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe right hand and the left hand need to figure out what the h\u2014\u2014 they\u2019re doing,\u201d he declared. \u201cIf it\u2019s dead then we should be able to codify that and be done with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
