'Maybe—and this is a big maybe—Kevin McCarthy may have helped Ukraine build its winter war.' writes Philip_Elliott for The D.C. Brief
Punchbowl News, “but at the same time it can’t be the only thing they do, and it can’t be a blank check.”
Let’s unpack this for a minute. McCarthy is far from walking away from Ukraine, but he is suggesting oversight is in the offing—meaning a headache for the Biden administration in a Republican-controlled 118th Congress. That alone is popular with the Republican base, which may take oversight as sufficient to satiate a growing indifference to the war.
Still, McCarthy says that an open-ended offer of the national American Express isn’t absolute. And the audience for his words were likely not just MAGA voters and D.C. pundits. By suggesting an expiration date for the biggest checks, McCarthy may successfully nudge Ukraine to finalize its next weapons wishlist. In turn, Congress may move to OK another round of money quicker than anticipated.
