Republican lawmakers — following former President Trump's lead — are working with a wide range of conservative groups to pull back American support for Ukraine, the Middle East and Europe, officials tell us.
Why it matters: With the GOP poised to retake control of the House and perhaps the Senate next year, this contingent could grow substantially. Trump is backing candidates who's explicitly broken with Republican foreign policy orthodoxy.
Driving the news: Eleven Senate GOP "no" votes on a $40 billion Ukraine aid package last week was the clearest sign the new coalition's influence is expanding.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who led the Senate opposition, huddled in his office with several of the coalition's key players before the House voted on the measure earlier this month.
They included representatives from the Koch political network, Cato Institute, populist-oriented group American Moment and the American Conservative magazine, according to a person who attended.
"Promoting a realist foreign policy agenda has always been a priority of Dr. Paul’s, which is why he has been holding meetings with interested groups and fellow members for years and will continue to do so in the future," a Paul spokesperson told Axios.
Why it matters: They discussed messaging and strategy on Ukraine but also U.S. foreign policy more generally.
The source described the atmosphere as upbeat, with Paul seeing the Ukraine vote as a catalyst for self-described "realist" elements in the party seeking to pull the U.S. back from deeper military involvement in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere.
It comes as the Biden administration escalates U.S. involvement in Somalia, a move that members of the new GOP coalition anticipate fighting.
Republican leadership has sought to downplay the influence of this new bloc of members pushing "restraint" in foreign policy.

instead of “Republicans, responding to public opinion, resist foreign intervention while DemoKKKrats thumb nose at voters!”

Your wrong about the Ukraine! It was corrupt and the people found out, so they elected Z and he was turning it around thats the real reason Russia invaded. Remember we had Obama threw his ass out( Blessings on term limits ) an we got DJT so keep in mind sooner or later the good guys do win....My take is re-elect DJT in 2024 an he appoints Ron De Santis as AG or speaker of the House AG would be better then in 2028 RDS goes to replace DJT and builds off his accomplishments....thats how we get 8 years of decent leadership...RDS may I suggest Sarah Palin as your VP she has the guts to tear into the swamp it destroyed her family an I am sure she will not forget.....an for the love of god term limits for Congress both houses 2 terms and out...
