President Donald Trump's expected plan to sign a government funding bill and declare a national emergency to get more money for his promised border wall drew two different reactions from Kentucky's senators.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement that Trump's decision to declare a national emergency "is the predictable and understandable consequence of Democrats' decision to put partisan obstruction ahead of the national interest."

"I urge my Democratic colleagues to quickly get serious, put partisanship aside, and work with the president and our homeland security experts to provide the funding needed to secure our borders as we begin the next round of appropriations," McConnell said.

In an earlier statement on the passage of the government funding bill, McConnell said the U.S. Senate "delivered another down payment on President Trump’s commitment to securing our nation’s borders and keeping American communities safe."

Sen. Rand Paul, however, said he disagreed with Trump's plan.

"I’m disappointed with both the massive, bloated, secretive bill that just passed and with the president’s intention to declare an emergency to build a wall," Paul said.

"I, too, want stronger border security, including a wall in some areas. But how we do things matters. Over 1,000 pages dropped in the middle of the night and extraconstitutional executive actions are wrong, no matter which party does them."
