DAVID MUIR: We turn next tonight here to the border crisis, and Senate Republicans tonight have now killed the bipartisan bill in the Senate that contained many of the Republicans' own demands. $650 million to build and reinforce miles of fencing.

KRISTEN WELKER: Steve, these are some truly stunning numbers.  STEVE KORNACKI: They really are, Kristen, and let's just start with the bottom line. When you ask folks, hey, if it's the general election and it’s Trump versus Biden, in our poll Donald Trump now leads Joe Biden by five points.  Compare that to the last time we polled back in November, Trump was ahead then but it was only by two…

  STEPHANOPOULOS: The Constitution also says the president must abide by legitimate Supreme Court rulings, doesn't it?  VANCE: The Constitution says that the Supreme Court can make rulings, but if the Supreme Court -- and look. I hope that they would not do this, but if the Supreme Court said the President of the United States can't fire a general, that would be an illegitimate ruling and the…
