The Senate defeated President Donald Trump's border security plan 50-47 on a procedural vote designed to re-open the government. The measure required 60 votes to pass.The procedural vote came on an amendment offered by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to a spending measure that combined seven appropriations bills that would have ended the shutdown and provided money for border security, disaster aid and several immigration policy changes.Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., voted yes on the president’s plan, while Tom Cotton, R.-Ark., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, voted no. The Senate will next vote on an amendment to the same spending bill by Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., that would re-open government through Feb. 8.That bill omits Trump's latest funding request for a border wall and provides $14.2 billion in disaster aid, a measure that already passed the House.
