A proposed billion-dollar plan to increase security at the White House campus and help pay for President Donald Trump's proposed ballroom suffered a major setback by failing to meet the criteria to be included in the upcoming Republican budget bill.
Big picture view: The budget plan cannot be filibustered and only needs a simple majority to pass, so including the new security projects would have been a much easier lift to get through the Senate.
Now, those sections would need 60 votes for approval.
