Graham: No Separation of Ukraine Aid and Border Funding

Senator Lindsey Graham expects that Ukraine aid will not be separated from border funding as Congress seeks a way forward after a shutdown bill excluded Ukraine. Graham believes that a combination of border security, Ukraine funding, and disaster aid will have the support of the majority of Senate Republicans. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy did not include Ukraine funding in a bill to keep the government open, despite similar legislation in the Senate. McCarthy argues that addressing the crisis at the border is a higher priority. Graham supports a strong border security measure and proposes up to $70 billion in Ukraine funding, citing the need for it due to the ongoing conflict.
