Speaker Mike Johnson Softly (almost inaudibly) Announces No More Aid to Ukraine. Johnson was asked Wednesday whether he would follow Biden's request and attach an additional $24 billion to a continuing resolution, and he said he will "wait and take the new Commander in Chief's direction on all of that."
Johnson:
"There are developments by the hour in Ukraine, I think, as we predicted, and as I said to all of you weeks before the election, if Donald Trump is elected, it will change the dynamic of the Russia war on Ukraine, and we're seeing that happen. So, it is not the place that Joe Biden to make that decision now. We have a newly elected president, and we're going to wait and take the new Commander in Chief's direction on all of that, so I don't expect any Ukraine funding to come up now."
