- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) cast doubt on a Christmas miracle Tuesday, signaling a grand bargain on Ukraine aid and border reform is nowhere near done despite a personal impassioned plea from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
- “All I’ve said is it is practically impossible even if we reach an agreement to craft it and get it through the Senate and get it through the House before Christmas,” McConnell said, speaking to reporters at his weekly media availability. “It doesn’t mean it’s not important, even though we have been emphasizing the border, I want to remind everyone on the importance of Ukraine.”
