Biden Threatens to Veto Bill That Would Help Israel but Not Ukraine
President Biden accused Republicans in the House of a “cynical political maneuver” intended to kill broader legislation that would also provide money for the southern border.
President Biden vowed on Monday to veto a House Republican bill that would provide $17.6 billion in aid to Israel, calling it a “cynical political maneuver” intended to hurt the chances of passage for broader legislation that would provide money for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and the U.S. border.
House Republicans fiercely oppose the larger bill, which was unveiled by a small, bipartisan group of senators over the weekend. It calls for $118.3 billion in spending and would overhaul some of the nation’s immigration laws to deal with recent surges of migrants at the southern border.
You're viewing a single thread.
This doofus already did 2 emergency arms sales to Israel, he just wants his other foreign funding on top of funding Israel.
Nothing special here besides republicans doing republican things.
And I think the house Republicans know and accept this. They know that Israel will continue to get funded and they will campaign that Dems and Biden blocked aide to Israel.
No one but Republicans win. Heads I won, tails you lose.
It may give Biden some cred with the pro Ukraine voters.
