Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is making an all-out push for Ukraine aid despite opposition from House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Ukraine-skeptic members of the Republican Party. McConnell criticized the suggestion that American leadership isn't worth the cost and emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine. He expressed optimism that Speaker Johnson will back more U.S. aid to Ukraine. McConnell also stressed his support for aid to Ukraine and Israel in an emergency-funding package that would include funding for Taiwan and border security.
