Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) criticizes the deprioritization of funding aid to Ukraine by some lawmakers. McConnell urges the Senate to pass a supplemental foreign aid package to prevent further loss of life and impose consequences on tyrants. He emphasizes that support for Ukraine is a test for the United States and the free world. McConnell expresses optimism that newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson will back more U.S. aid to Ukraine. Despite skepticism among American voters, McConnell stresses the need for more aid for Ukraine and Israel in an emergency-funding package that would also include funding for Taiwan and border security. He defends his push for aid for Israel and Ukraine, stating that all four areas—Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the border—should be treated equally.
