President Trump looks set to issue the first veto of his presidency as Republicans in the Senate break from him.
The Senate on Thursday will vote on a resolution to terminate Trump's declaration of a national emergency on the southern border. After the Democratically-controlled House voted in favor of blocking the declaration, the Republican-controlled Senate is set to follow suit, and enough Republicans have said they will vote along with their Democratic colleagues for it to pass, per USA Today.
