The White House and GOP leaders launched a last-minute push to limit the losses on a House vote to stop Trump from circumventing Congress to build a border wall, in a bid to avoid a humiliating defeat for the president

CAITLIN OPRYSKO House Democrats believe they could win support from between five to 10 Republicans in Tuesday’s much-anticipated floor vote, according to two sources — far less than the dozens of House Republicans who have voiced skepticism of the idea at some point in recent months. In an attempt to drum up GOP supporters, Democrats have circulated a spreadsheet of hundreds of military construction projects that the White House could potentially take money from for its border project.

Pentagon officials visited Capitol Hill on Friday to brief top defense spending leaders of both parties on where the administration could divert $3.6 billion from military projects to the border.
