But a vote to begin debate failed early Friday, 47-52. Only \u200bone Democrat, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, voted in favor of it.<\/div><div>Senate Majority Leader \u2060John Thune lamented that nearly every Democrat opposed the procedural vote. But the vote nonetheless \u200brepresented a significant setback for Republicans, who narrowly control both the Senate and House of Representatives.<\/div><div>Democrats \u200bhave taken issue with President Donald Trump&#8217;s appointment of Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, despite his lack of national security experience.<\/div><div>Thune said the Trump administration will have to \u200bconsider whether Pulte&#8217;s role is an impediment to extending the warrantless domestic surveillance powers measure, \u200bwhich Congress voted to extend for 45 days on April 30.<\/div><div>&#8220;Next week, it gets real,&#8221; Thune told reporters. &#8220;A \u200cfew days \u2060from now &#8230; the program goes dark. I just think that would be a dangerous mistake for the country. Hopefully, responsible folks will come to the table and at least help us figure this out.&#8221;<\/div><div>While the timing of Pulte&#8217;s appointment &#8220;arguably wasn&#8217;t the best,&#8221; Thune said, &#8220;I still don&#8217;t \u200bthink it ought to \u200bderail something that&#8217;s this \u2060important.&#8221;<\/div><div>The setback marked one more development that saw some Senate Republicans balking at a range of Trump initiatives, including his push for $1 \u200bbillion in funding to help him build a 90,000-square-foot White House \u200bballroom and establish \u2060a $1.776 billion fund that he could use to funnel money to his political allies who claim they have been mistreated by the government.<\/div><div>Polls show a lack of public support at a \u2060time \u200bwhen voters want Washington to do something to ease a \u200brising rate of inflation that is partially the result of the United States&#8217; war with Iran that has hampered \u200bthe international movement of oil.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Nolan D.
