President Joe Biden has accused former President Donald Trump of exacerbating the current border crisis by opposing the latest Senate border deal.

“Now, all indications are that this bill won’t even move forward to the Senate floor. Why? A simple reason: Donald Trump. Because Donald Trump thinks it’s bad for him politically,” President Biden told reporters on Tuesday.
