Republicans anxious about keeping control of Congress think it's a bad idea, but President Donald Trump still says he's willing to close the government over border security issues, including money he wants to build a promised U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Visiting Wisconsin on June 28, President Donald Trump tweeted "Russia continues to say they had nothing to do with Meddling in our Election!"

Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, says Congress must act on immigration legislation to address what he calls a "flood of people trying to get into this country illegally." Johnson said in an interview Friday on WTMJ-AM that he believes a bill could get the necessary votes in the Senate, but he doesn't know if it would find enough support to pass the House.
The bill, which is sponsored by Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, Heidi Heitkamp, D-North Dakota, Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, among others, would require the president to submit to Congress any proposal to impose tariffs under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. While acutely a response to steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by President Trump on poorly supported "national security" grounds under Section 232, the bill is fundamentally a restoration of congressional authority over matters of trade as presented in the United States Constitution.

The bill allows terminally ill patients to receive experimental drugs not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson's two-year push to enact a "right-to-try" bill hit the home stretch Tuesday after the House of Representatives approved the measure and sent it to President Donald Trump's desk for final signature.
