President Biden lambasted Republicans for “bringing us to the brink” while simultaneously hailing the prevention of a government shutdown.
The president bemoaned the lack of supplemental aid for Ukraine in the spending deal, and urged Congress to take up a separate bill to funnel more support to the war-torn nation.
President Biden tore into Republicans for ‘playing games’ and taking the nation to the brink of a shutdown.“We have time, not much time, and there’s an overwhelming sense of urgency,” Biden said when asked about when funds would run dry. “I can reassure [Ukraine], look at me, we’re going to get it done.”
Biden also demurred on whether he believes House Democrats should bail McCarthy out when Gaetz pushes to topple him, saying: I’ll leave that to the leadership in the House of the Senate.” “[In] the last few days and weeks, extreme MAGA Republicans tried to walk away from that deal, voting for deep, drastic spending cuts,” Biden railed. “They failed again. And we stop them. But I’m under no illusions that they’ll be back again.”
