Senate Republicans seek concessions on Biden's $106 billion request for aid to Israel, Ukraine
Senate Republicans are seeking concessions on President Joe Biden's $106 billion request for aid to Israel and Ukraine. Senate Republicans made clear Tuesday they hope to make some major modifications to President Joe Biden's $106 billion national security funding request that includes aid to Ukraine and Israel. "It's pretty clear that the supplemental that was sent over is just a starting point," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said at a press conference Tuesday. "We are going to go over it with a fine tooth comb." Now, just days after the request arrived on the hill, Senate Republicans are drawing lines in the sand with a particular focus on modifying policies at the southern border. Their aim is to extract policy wins while crafting a bill that would be most palatable to their House colleagues.
