Path to Trump's Border wall narrows as republicans balk at emergency declaration- Elton Tankersley

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/04/us/politics/trump-border-wall-republicans.html

The article talks about the support for president Trump from republicans is wavering as Trump continues to threaten to use emergency powers to reallocate funding to build a wall on the border. It also mentions the other instances where republicans have stepped away from Trump, like when he removed troops from Afghanistan and Syria.

This comes during a time where the country is very divided, and we are also starting to see divisions within the divisions that already exist. The audience of this article is probably people who want an update on the whole Trump border wall fiasco. This was written as an update on Trump and the republicans in congress. It was written by Glenn Thrush and Emily Cochrane and their bias does not affect the accuracy of this article. This is important because it shows that Trump is beginning to loose the support he has had from Congress which could be indicative of him losing support from his larger base of supporters.
