Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) pressed the House on Thursday to pass a Ukraine aid bill, as he launches a campaign to replace outgoing Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.).
“I think that the challenge, of course, right now, with the situation deteriorating there, is to try and feel a sense of urgency about this,” Thune said in a PBS “NewsHour” interview.
“I’m hoping the House can execute on getting something passed, ideally the Senate bill, but if not something that they could send to the Senate that we could then act on,“ Thune added.
McConnell and Thune have been among the GOP supporters in the Senate of sending additional aid to Ukraine.
Republicans in both chambers have grown divided over the issue, however, particularly as former President Trump has won primaries and become the near-certain GOP nominee for president.
The House has resisted bipartisan calls from the Senate to pass aid for Ukraine. The Senate passed an aid bill last month.
Thune emphasized the need for American aid in Ukraine, as the country struggles to hold back a surging Russian military.

A great catch! Someone should remind KJP of her own words…
Such narrow minded thought is reprehensible.
We are the United States of America and can walk and chew gum simultaneously
Blah blah blah isolationist balderdascious drivel yada yada yada
“It’s OK not to give money to Ukraine”
But it can retreat from its own borders, eh, Thune?
And this guy is the establishment’s favorite to replace McConnell?
Name calling will get you everywhere.
“ A neo isolationist viewing reality through a paper towel tube (or worse, a soda straw) has such a narrow restricted view that he is incapable of knowing a world stage exists, much less what is actually on it.”

Oh, “bert”, you’re a dinosaur who gullibly still is believing the Neocon globalist propaganda that has continuously led to actions that have weakened and are destroying our nation and Western Civilization generally. Carry on with your USEFUL IDIOCY… you’ll never change.
C’mon East River Sd you mean
We in the west do not like the Murdo moron
I don’t call it narrow minded. I call it common sense. We need to take care of OUR OWN FIRST. If we can’t solve our own problems, how can we deal with anyone else’s?
If anything, your thinking is very narrow minded.
Thune needs to spend more time back in South Dakota. I am certain if he had coffee with the folks in his hometown, Murdo, they would not be in favor of pouring more taxpayer money into the black hole that is Ukraine.
What you do not grasp is that either Cornyn or Thune are perfect representatives of the Republican Party? No one else is running because anyone else who favors what we do has zero chance of winning.
More proof this clown is unfit to be in the Senate, let alone the Republican leader of it.
You call me reprehensible- I repeat my question: Is Ukraine’s border more important to you than our own?
I’m honestly trying to understand you. No rancor here.
Even the redest of the red states have their specs of blue and purple. If only the rest had as few as you guys.
Our House representation is just one guy.
Even he is a blue blood
Your question is totally irrelevant. Your question indicates your insularization and isolationist mind set.
If you had any clue whatsoever you would know that both are possible.
Pardon me for being stupid…..
