Four things we learned from the national emergency vote | Analysis by CNN's Michael Warren
Washington President Donald Trump is preparing to issue what is likely to be the first veto of his presidency to protect his national emergency declaration. A critical mass of Republican senators -- 12 in total -- joined Democrats Thursday to pass a resolution rescinding that declaration, despite efforts by both Hill Republicans and the White House to avoid the embarrassment.
What did we learn about Washington in this whole ordeal?Trump can't be convinced to be helpedSince before the end of the government shutdown, Senate Republicans have been trying to convince Trump that declaring a national emergency to build a border wall was going to be a political problem for the party. It's a poor reflection on both Trump and congressional Republicans that the President seems unable to see what is in his own self interest.
— Donald J. Trump March 11, 2019 Trump has also emphasized that voting against the resolution was an endorsement of border security -- and that voting for it was tantamount to voting against border security.A big National Emergency vote today by The United States Senate on Border Security & the Wall . I am prepared to veto, if necessary.
— Donald J. Trump March 14, 2019 The President isn't wrong about the marker the vote on the resolution represents, but Republicans don't want it framed this way. That's because many of their voters support increased border security, even though Trump's wall has a more broad toxicity among the general public.Until Thursday, Republicans have avoided taking a vote on the wall, which is how they would have preferred to keep it.
Shortly after the vote, Trump tweeted a clear message to his supporters about how he intended to respond:"VETO!"
