Republican blocks Senate resolution criticizing Trump’s taxpayer-funded ads
A Republican senator blocked a resolution Tuesday criticizing the decision to spend federal funds on television ads promoting President Donald Trump’s policies.
Democrats have expressed outrage over Trump’s decision to begin airing campaign ads this month, arguing they are illegal. The White House has defended the ads, but some Republicans — including Senate Majority Leader John Thune (South Dakota) — have said they don’t think the federal government should pay for the ads.
