Senator Ron Johnson on Biden's Dementia, the Border and the Race in Wisconsin

What we were looking for in the Republican conference, and this was the breach of McConnell's leadership, is all we were looking for was an enforcement mechanism to force Biden to use the authority he had. Again, we just strengthened it, but We weren't looking for an immigration bill. We certainly looking to codify four or five thousand people a day and weaken a presidential authority. That's the one part that is not talked about enough. (06:11–06:14)
