House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy expressed skepticism about sending more aid to Ukraine if Republicans take back the House in the upcoming midterm elections.
"I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they're not going to write a blank check to Ukraine," the California Republican told Punchbowl News in a report published Tuesday.
"They just won't do it," he continued. "It's not a free blank check."
While "Ukraine is important," GOP concerns about the border and other domestic policies also carry weight, McCarthy added.
The comments signal that bipartisan support for funding to Ukraine against Russia's invasion could be waning. Over the past eight months, the US has delivered more than $60 billion in military, economic, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.

WOW, who bought McCarthy a clue here?
Deep state operatives sunk this countries future by working to oust Trump because they cared more about a cushy job then actually doing work for us.
My take. Completely blind to real ground realities of our own nation.
Kevin wants ‘his’ 10% too.
Fortunately Congress has already appropriated $52 billion of which only $17 billion has been sent.
So the pipeline is already in place for the next 18 months.
No appeasement. The war ends when Russia withdraws from all Ukrainian territory or is pushed out.
And if I have to vote against Republicans to make sure Ukraine is supported, I’ll consider doing so.
Meh, maybe they can undo it.
Idiots couldn’t spare a few billion for a border wall no way this money should be sent if not for many others reasons.
“And if I have to vote against Republicans to make sure Ukraine is supported, I’ll consider doing so.”
I’m in that exact situation right now. My congressman is Roger Williams (TX-25). He voted against the last Ukraine funding bill. I’m upset with him, but going to vote straight R during early voting next week.
Only voted D once in my entire life. Jane Byrne for mayor of Chicago.
Can’t cross that threshold yet. But lets see what 2023 and 2024 brings.
Could have saved many thousands of lives, avoided the movement of millions of refugees, and saved many billions of dollars by just staying out of that war, which would have ended quickly with much less damage and death and global disruption without our “help”.
Biden’s Vietnam fiasco has lost American support and congress is finally figuring it out.
Ukraine is a noose around Biden’s neck.
I will never vote RAT. Ukraine needs to make hay while the sun is shining.

Democratic Underground is the place for you then. I’d prefer you just go now.
So you would potentially sacrifice America for some corrupt criminals half way around the world. Amazing.
Milquetoast statement. What is he going to say?
“Oh, the sky’s the limit. There is no financial burden we will not bear ... no dollar deterred ...”
Frank Luntz’s roomate is one tough guy....
The future Sissy of the HOR.
