Tensions rising in GOP over Trump border plan as Rand Paul squares off with Stephen Miller
- On June 13, 2025, Senator Rand Paul and Stephen Miller, a senior aide to President Trump, clashed in Washington, D.C., regarding the administration’s proposed $150 billion funding package for border security.
- The feud arose as Paul criticized the bill's high cost and lack of transparency, while Miller defended the funding and briefed Senate Republicans amid GOP divisions.
- Supporters said Miller explained the expenses well, but fiscal conservatives like Sen. Ron Johnson questioned the $46 billion funding versus previous $6 billion estimates for border construction.
- Paul called Miller a 'rubber stamp' and said, "They want to quiet me down, and it hasn't worked," reflecting his opposition to the bill's impact on the federal deficit.
- The dispute complicates efforts to pass the legislation soon, signaling ongoing tensions within the GOP over border policy and government spending.
