The Republican is siding with President Joe Biden on this issue.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell speaks to the media after a Senate Republican policy luncheon, Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington. | Stephanie Scarbrough/APPresident Joe Biden has a key Republican ally in his push to tie aid to Ukraine and Israel together: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
When it comes to Ukraine, McConnell said there were ramifications that extended beyond the ongoing war with Russia. While sending aid to Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack has broad support in Congress, pushing through a package that includes more Ukrainian assistance could cause complications.
“The Chinese and the Russians said they’re now friends forever. Iranian drones are being used in Ukraine and against the Israelis.”
