Florida’s GOP senators and representatives reject Senate border deal: ‘Reads like a parody’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Florida’s two Republican senators rejected the U.S. Senate’s bipartisan package that includes funding for border security, along with billions more in aid to other countries.

The bill totals $118 billion and includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $20 billion for the U.S. border, $14 billion for Israel, $10 billion for Gaza and billions more for other regions.

Sen. Rick Scott slammed the bill after Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said under the proposal, “the border never closes.”

“This is not a border security bill,” Scott said.
