Abstract

The article focuses on President Donald Trump's efforts to persuade Senate Republicans to change Senate rules, specifically to eliminate the filibuster, in order to secure funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) amid a partial government shutdown. Trump cited airport delays caused by unpaid Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees as a key issue and criticized both Democrats and some Republicans for blocking funding without immigration enforcement reforms. Senate Republicans, including Majority Leader John Thune, have expressed reluctance to alter the filibuster rule due to insufficient support. The funding impasse is tied to Democratic demands for immigration policy changes following incidents involving DHS agents, and the standoff presents political risks ahead of the midterm elections.
