Conservative skeptics of funding the war in Ukraine predict the bill signed into law this week will be the last major U.S. aid package for Kyiv that passes.
The GOP critics of the package acknowledge that Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) won this round of the debate by pushing $61 billion for Ukraine through Congress.
But they argue that if President Biden comes back with another request, he’ll go away empty-handed.
“If Ukraine thinks that it’s getting another $60 billion supplemental out of the United States Congress, there’s no way,” said Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who led the opposition among Senate Republicans to pouring tens of billions of more dollars into the war effort.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Wednesday the new military aid package for Ukraine will last through the end of the year, raising the prospect that a new infusion of weapons and funding may be needed quickly in 2025.
That could make Ukraine’s war with Russia, and U.S. support for Kyiv, a major issue in the presidential race between Biden and former President Trump and in the battles for the House and Senate.
The presidential and House races are both considered toss-ups, while Republicans are widely seen as favorites to win the Senate majority, given a highly favorable map.
“So much of what happens next depends on the outcome of the November election,” said Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.).
Sullivan said Wednesday there’s a “deep reservoir” of support for Ukraine in both parties

Go back to Biden’s first day. The Republicans swoon to give Joe whatever he wants.
This is hogwash meant for idiots.
Yes, standing by and doing nothing as another country is being overrun is such a conservative virtue.
$1,000,000,000,000+ taxpayer money, spent by the feral gubmint, per year, on illegals.
Riiiiiiggggghhhhhhhttttttt!
Where is the “Yeah Right” honey?
Sure. Line in the sand and all that.
Sure.., If they say so.
Considering only 15 Republicans voted against it this time, don't hold your breath...
I was thinking December.
We need a betting pool
BS… even MAGA darling MTG made millions off the Ukraine war via insider trading.
Johnson went to mar a lago, ame back and passed 60 billion more.
The expose of congress most likely only scratched the surface.
Their fake congressional burisma hearings and their kabuki rantings are sickening.
But not as sickening as the people who believe them.
To fix the border all you need to do is win an election.
Given the party control situation of the Senate-Congress there is not and won’t be a legislative solution for an executive problem.
Trump needs to win, thats it.
“But not as sickening as the people who believe them.”
The American problem is sociological. Both sides have completely lost their minds, and so all sense of proportion.
Thats why the dems justify absurd injustices like the border and lawfare.
And in reaction their opponents have likewise gone nuts.
Nothing good is going to come from this mutual rage.
Jerry showed up on local tv tonight. About a once a year deal. Said our security was important. That was about it. Usually shows up to announce a gobt giveaway for a bridge or fire dept apparatus. Really inspiring. Useless.
But......more moslems for more hell to break loose. Hope they are confined to college dorms.
I’d gladly pay you Tuesday for a cheeseburger today. Wimpy would be proud.
I’m liking Vance more and more as the VP.
One senate vote doesn’t mean much.
The lame duck session is a fine time to vacate JUDAS Johnson if they try that BS..
..them just wait for the new arrivals to pick speaker..
,,, Just say NO to crack! and NO to Ukraine
Keep on the lookout for politicians’ profiles in courage.
Any year now.
