SCHUMER: ‘BOTTOM LINE … WE NEED A BIPARTISAN BILL’: A showdown is looming next week when Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) plans to put President Joe Biden’s $105 billion supplemental funding request to a vote on the Senate floor.

“There are a number of things we have to do at once: deliver aid to Israel, aid to Ukraine, humanitarian assistance to help innocent victims in Gaza, and military capabilities in the Indo-Pacific,” Schumer said at a news conference yesterday. “All these national security issues are related and should move together … America doesn’t have the luxury to pick and choose national security threats that befall us. We must address all of them, all of them, because our adversaries, Russia, China, … Iran … are investing heavily in them too.”
