Wonder if this is for the Lame-Duck Session? Dems lost House so get this approved before Congress changes?
The Ukraine request is massive. An administration official told reporters that it is intended to last through the end of the next fiscal year. Congress has already approved over $60 billion in funding for Ukraine since the start of the war; a fact sheet released Tuesday said that about three-quarters of the funds already approved have been "disbursed or committed." Passing this level of assistance now will allow the White House to delay any fights over future Ukraine funding next year, at a time some Republicans have voiced objections to approving future assistance.
Think you mentioned that Biden would do this.
Still, I don't think there's enough insane Republicans in House to block aid but it's smart either way in case there is.
