KTAR News<\/a>: Arizona senators split on Trump\u2019s emergency declaration over border<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Arizona\u2019s senators were split in their Thursday votes on President Donald Trump\u2019s declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Republican U.S. Sen. Martha McSally voted against a resolution to annul the border emergency Trump declared last month, while Democratic U.S. Sen. Krysten Sinema voted in favor of it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

McSally said Wednesday that she would vote to uphold the resolution. Sinema did not reveal her vote until she got to the Senate floor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Republican-controlled Senate voted 59-41 for a resolution to halt Trump\u2019s emergency order. Trump has promised to veto it, and it is unlikely that Congress will have the votes to override him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yet the vote represents a remarkable break between Trump and Senate Republicans. It\u2019s the first time Congress has used its power to reject a presidential emergency order.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The emergency declaration would allow the Pentagon to redirect money from other purposes to pay for the wall.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

McSally said she supported the move because she was assured that it would not impact funding from military construction projects in Arizona.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

McSally told KTAR News 92.3 FM\u2019s Mac & Gaydos last month that Trump has \u201cevery right\u201d to declare an emergency.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But she said even though she shared his \u201cgoals and frustrations,\u201d she wished they could be achieved another way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI prefer that it didn\u2019t come to that. I prefer Congress do our job and stop playing political games with something that used to be bipartisan, which is border security,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
