On the GOP Split Over Ukraine

The continuing rift between Senate GOP leaders and MAGA Republicans continues to boil over, after undeclared presidential candidate Ron DeSantis accused President Biden on Tucker Carlson Tonight of “virtual ‘blank check’ funding” of “Ukraine in a territorial dispute.” Thursday, The Bulwark recalled a speech Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) gave in Munich earlier this year in which he said his caucus supports “a strong, involved America and a robust trans-Atlantic alliance.”

McConnell said; “Don’t look at Twitter, look at people in power.”

Will pro-Ukraine Senate Republicans prevail, or will isolationism and antipathy for Ukraine and its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, prevail among DeSantis, MAGA House Republicans and declared 2024 candidate Donald J. Trump?
