Dem Senator’s Priority: Threatens Shutdown Without Ukraine Funding
Democratic Senator Threatens Government Shutdown if Ukraine Aid is Not Included in Next Budget Bill
A Democratic senator has taken a strong stance on providing aid to Ukraine, stating that he would go to great lengths to ensure it is included in the next federal budget bill. Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado, who previously supported a stopgap funding package without Ukraine aid, now warns that he is willing to shut down the government over this issue.
Although House Republicans have shown support for funding Ukraine, recent leadership changes have raised concerns about the future of this funding. Some potential successors to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy are less enthusiastic about providing additional aid to Ukraine, leading to speculation that the House may not approve the funding agreed upon last week.
If this scenario unfolds, Senator Bennet is prepared to take drastic measures. In an interview, he expressed his willingness to shut down the government over Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of not forgetting the millions of lives lost in Ukraine and Poland during World War II.
President Joe Biden also expressed concern about the potential impact of House Republican infighting on Ukraine aid. However, he noted that a majority of members from both parties support funding Ukraine and suggested alternative means of securing the necessary funds.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham warned of grave consequences if the US does not support Ukraine, predicting that it could lead to a war with NATO. On the other hand, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, a candidate for speaker, voiced his opposition to providing more aid to Ukraine, prioritizing issues such as border security and crime.
Despite the differing opinions, the debate over Ukraine aid continues, with Senator Bennet and others advocating for the United States to stand against tyranny and support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
