McConnell explicitly recommended a NO vote on cloture on the motion to proceed, according to several attendees.
McConnell said the problem isn’t what Lankford negotiated, it’s that the political mood in the country has changed.

NEWS — McConnell recommended to GOP senators behind closed doors that they BLOCK the border bill on Wednesday, per multiple sources, bc it’s clear that most Republicans are preparing to vote no — either because they oppose the bill or want more time. w/@bresreports@JakeSherman

Lankford: Senate Border-Ukraine Procedural Vote Likely to Fail
Why Senator? Did you finally read the bill the lobbyists drafted for you?

He really hung Lankford out to dry

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing a torrent of criticism from conservatives, Senate Republicans on Monday resisted advancing on a bipartisan proposal intended to clamp down on illegal border crossings, signaling a likely defeat in Congress that would leave leaders with no clear path to approve wartime aid for Ukraine.
In a dramatic turnaround, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell recommended to GOP senators in a closed-door meeting that they vote against the first procedural vote Wednesday, according to two people familiar with the meeting who were not authorized to talk publicly about it and spoke anonymously.

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, the lead Democratic negotiator for the bill, said, “I think this country is crying out for the parties to stop fighting over immigration and just get something done that’s going to better control the border and fix our broken immigration system.”
What we’re crying for should be a simple fix: for Joe to just shut the fricking thing down with a stroke of the pen. It’s no more complicated than that.
They truly think we’re that stupid.

Hopefully the rest of the pathetic swamp GOP see the swamp has no loyalty to you they will hang you out to dry after praising you to save their own arse.
So desperate to get that Ukraine aid they gave Dems their dream border deal and try to sell it as the best deal they could get.

The turtle is in a panic because of the border convoy and majority of country doesn’t supply 1 cent for Ukraine.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the Arizona independent who was central to crafting the proposal, said, “For me, this is a very simple choice: Do you want to secure the border or do you not?”
She and Hobbs are probably making a fortune. This is why it was so important that Lake not become Governor of AZ.
This was all planned.

Let this be a lesson to any Republican stupid enough to go out on a limb to do McConnnell’s dirty work: he will leave you out to dry, then cut off the limb you’re standing on to save his own behind.
Make no mistake: McConnell picked Lankford for this kamikaze mission because 1) Lankford isn’t up for re-election until 2028, and 2) Lankford didn’t have the experience or wits to accomplish anything substantive against Schumer and Biden, whose goals on immigration and Ukraine perfectly align with McConnell’s.
It was vintage Mitch McConnell: work feverishly behind the scenes on behalf of his donors and the Uniparty to fleece taxpayers, pick an unsuspecting dupe to bear the public burden of carrying McConnell’s slop bucket, then throw the poor dupe right under the bus when everything goes sideways.

I just saw Nikki on TV hawking the bill and bashing Trump for trying to kill it. I wonder if she's rechecking the current wind.
