Senate Democratic majority leader Schumer supported temporary budget plan without aid to Ukraine and Israel

The majority leader of the Democrats in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, confirmed his support for a two-tier temporary funding plan proposed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

NBC reported this.

According to Schumer, the unified package for national security, covering aid to Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and the strengthening of the U.S. border, will be considered by the chamber after Thanksgiving. Schumer stated that he ‘very much wants all four of the president’s requests to be approved: Ukraine, Israel, humanitarian aid, and the Indo-Pacific region.’

‘We have Democrats and Republicans working together to try to develop a package of border security measures that will have support from both parties. But we need to do this, and once we return after Thanksgiving, it will be a very important priority. All four must garner bipartisan support in the House of Representatives,’ he said.

Responding to questions about the efforts of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives to divide the package into smaller individual bills, Schumer said they need bipartisan support for all four, and he will work diligently to fulfill all four requests.

The leader of the Republicans in the U.S. Senate, Mitch McConnell, also supported the temporary budget without separate packages for Ukraine and Israel.”
