US President Joe Biden held his predecessor, Donald Trump, responsible for the ongoing crisis within Congress. Biden accused Trump of threatening and intimidating Republican members of Congress.
Trump does not want to reach a solution, even a temporary one, to the immigration crisis, as he considers the continuation of the crisis a success for his presidential campaign. The failure of the package, which includes immigration policy points that Republicans have previously called for, would cast doubt on Congress' ability to get anything done on border security or foreign aid before the presidential elections next November.
