Public opinion polls show that 55% of U.S. voters support sending more military aid to Ukraine, with 38% opposed, and 69% believe supporting Ukraine is in the national interest of the U.S. Representative Mikie Sherrill stressed that supporting Ukraine is vital for American national security and the protection of global democracy. Michael McFaul, a former U.S. Ambassador, criticized Congress for its failure to approve new aid to Ukraine this year, arguing that such inaction undermines American national security interests well beyond Ukraine.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has previously said that passing Ukraine aid before the Christmas break would be 'practically impossible,' and there have been no recent talks between McConnell and President Biden about border negotiations, as reported by 'RealAmVoice'.
