Republicans Block Ukraine and Israel Aid, Senators Call for Action from Biden and McConnell

Senators from both parties are urging President Biden and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell to take a more active role in negotiations after GOP senators unanimously blocked a motion to proceed on a $110 billion bill to fund Ukraine, Israel, and secure the U.S.-Mexico border. Talks over border security have broken down, putting Biden's request for military aid to Ukraine and Israel, humanitarian assistance for Gaza, and funding to secure the southern border in jeopardy. With time running out before Christmas, senators are calling on Biden and McConnell, known for their negotiating skills, to get directly involved in finding a solution.
