Tillis urges GOP colleagues to delay budget vote over White House ballroom funding

Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, is urging colleagues to hold off on voting on a budget reconciliation package aimed at funding immigration enforcement through 2029.

Tillis expressed concern about a provision to spend $1 billion on renovations to the White House ballroom, calling it “a major policy problem,” according to a statement from his office.

The senator indicated he may oppose the measure if the funding for the ballroom remains in the package. The move signals potential trouble for the bill as negotiations continue among Senate Republicans.
