Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) was the Democratic lead on the much
anticipated bipartisan border legislation that was supposed to sail
through the Senate and unlock funding for the war in Ukraine. But
everything went sideways this week when Republicans, at Donald Trump’s
insistence, abruptly turned against the bill. On this episode of Deep
Dive, Sen. Murphy tells host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza what
really happened behind the scenes in the negotiations that assembled the
bill and how things unraveled so fast.
