White House press secretary said Republicans and Democrats agree to continue helping Ukraine

 


White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden did not contradict himself during Tuesday's press briefing when a reporter asked about comments President Joe Biden made about Ukraine.

NBC News White House correspondent Peter Alexander asked if Biden was seeking an alternative path to providing aid to Ukraine after Biden had previously expressed confidence that Congress would pass legislation. No aid for Ukraine was included in the continuing resolution signed by Biden on Saturday.

“I guess I'm confused,” Alexander said, “because you said here that the president was confident that the aid would continue, but today the president himself admitted that he was worried about that. Of those two, can those two line up?

“I am happy to repeat the same thing,” Jean-Pierre responded. “What we have heard from members of the House, both Republicans and Democrats, we have heard from senators, both Republicans and Democrats have said... that they want to continue supporting Ukraine, so that Ukraine can continue to fight against Russian aggression . “We’ve heard that… overwhelming majority, so that still stands.”Politicsbreaf
