"Stalled Ukraine Aid and GOP Recess: Impact and Next Steps"

The White House is intensifying its criticism of House Republican leadership for going on recess without approving funding for Ukraine and addressing border issues. The White House has been pressuring House Republicans to take up a Senate-passed $95 billion national defense supplemental bill, but Speaker Mike Johnson and his team have rejected it, citing the bill's lack of focus on border security. The White House argues that the Republicans' inaction undermines Ukraine's defenses, endangers NATO, and denies military assistance to Israel, while also highlighting potential threats if the funding is not approved.
