PUBLISHED 4:02 PM EST Nov. 18, 2022As control of the House of Representatives changes hands, committee chairs will soon be held by Republicans – and some of them are from Texas.
Democrats will maintain control of the Senate and most laws related to foreign policy will require Democratic support and the approval of President Joe Biden “The veterans want answers to what happened, they want accountability. It was a total fiasco,” McCaul told Spectrum News in an interview at his Capitol Hill office. “We were projecting weakness. I think if you go back to Chamberlain and Hitler and World War II, weakness invites aggression. Reagan talked about peace through strength. And Afghanistan was a turning point in our foreign policy.”
Already, Republicans have vowed to scrutinize the U.S. flow of aid to Ukraine. McCaul said while there will be no “blank checks,” and that it is important Ukraine overcomes the war because he does not want to see American troops in the country. “We always say, partisanship stops at the water's edge. So when we travel as a delegation, we're not Democrats, Republicans, we're Americans overseas, and we try to stay unified,” he said. “At the end of the day, we want the United States to be strong, and we want the United States to win.”
