GOP Senators Disavow DeSantis's Pro-Russia Ukraine Stance

Senate Republicans are distancing themselves from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's stance on Ukraine, which he likened to a "territorial dispute" and argued that becoming further involved is not a "vital" national interest for the US. Multiple Republicans took aim at the remarks, indicating they believe DeSantis is basing his stance on politics, not national security interests. However, some Senate Republicans were more willing to give the Florida governor a pass on the matter, and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) added that DeSantis's comments are smart because that is where many GOP voters stand on the matter.
