My suspicion is that Congress critters are advising Zelensky that the upcoming debt ceiling and budget fight, which must complete in just a few weeks, can be constructed so that another $100+Billion sent to Ukraine will be the price of some votes for the bill.

Trump would not sign such a deal.

It takes away his leverage in a high stakes negotiation.

Naa, that would play DIRECTLY into Trump’s hands. In fact, regarding the debt limit, Trump 2.0 is far stronger than 1.0 and may just want to take it all the way...leaving it to the Democrats to defend what they are demanding.

...and at that point, I suspect that the Democrats will buckle.
