Ukraine says it urgently needs billions in U.S. aid. Resistance among House Republicans has grown.
Ukraine’s urgent military needs have bumped up against GOP’s drift away from automatic hawkishness on Russia.
The group gave “A” grades to two of the speaker contenders that have been stalwarts on votes to aid Ukraine: Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota and Rep. Austin Scott of Georgia.Waco Rep. Pete Sessions got a B, as did Reps. Jack Bergman of Michigan and Gary Palmer of Alabama. Dozens of House Republicans balked and McCarthy, under pressure from the right, excluded the request from the 45-day stopgap deal that expires Nov. 17.That’s the sum President Joe Biden requested for Ukraine last week as part of a $105 billion security package that includes $14 billion for Israel, $14 billion for the U.S. border and $7 billion to counter China and other Indo-Pacific adversaries.
“No Americans are getting killed in Ukraine,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “The Ukrainians are destroying the army of one of our biggest rivals. … I have a hard time finding anything wrong with that.”
