Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is openly championing President Biden’s push to bundle Ukraine and Israel aid together while also wishing for a “functional” House.
Government set to shut down after House’s stopgap spending bill goes ‘down in flames’Biden delivered a his second primetime Oval Office address last Thursday seeking to gin up support for the White House’s“It’s correct. No Americans are getting killed in Ukraine. We’re rebuilding our industrial base. The Ukrainians are destroying the army of one of our biggest rivals. I have a hard time finding anything wrong with that,” McConnell told CBS’ “Face the Nation” in an interview that aired Sunday.
“They’ve done almost 90 billion dollars, they’re housing a bunch of refugees who escaped. I think that our NATO allies in Europe have done quite a lot,” he said.The president delivered a prime time address from the Oval Office last week seeking to shore up support for the supplemental request.“Well not on the domestic side, but on this issue that we’re discussing today, we’re generally in the same place,” McConnell quipped when asked about him having a lot in common with Biden.
“I’m not an expert on the House. I have my hands full here in the Senate, and we’re gonna do our job and hope the House can get functional here sometime soon,” he added.
