Senators Cassidy, Kennedy Studying Budget, Wall Deal

That's when Republican senators Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy will join colleagues to vote on the legislation.

They and President Trump are still studying the bill that would allocate only $1.4 billion of the $5.7 billion that the president has demanded to construct the wall.
