I&#8217;ve said this before,&#8221; \u200bshe said Wednesday \u200bwhen asked about Biden&#8217;s remarks. &#8220;As it relates to the funding, we continue to \u2062see broad\u2062 support, majority of bipartisan support, majority\u200b support in a bipartisan way, in both the House \u2063and the Senate to continue our commitment to \u2063Ukraine.
