Hours before they were scheduled to vote, Senate Republicans instead refused to advance a key bill for Trump because of concerns over the fund.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche made an unplanned trip to Capitol Hill to personally argue the case for that fund. It didn't work.
Amid sharp questions and concerns from Republicans, the president did not have the votes he needed, and the Senate instead left town.
