Senate Prepares to Vote on Biden's Ukraine Request

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to hold a vote on President Joe Biden's request for assistance to Ukraine and Israel, putting pressure on lawmakers to reach a border security deal. Schumer blamed the border demand as the main obstacle to delivering funds to Ukraine and Israel. He urged Democrats to engage more with Republicans to find a compromise. A bipartisan group has been working on a deal that would combine funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the border with changes to asylum and parole policy. Schumer's push for a Senate vote in early December sets a deadline for negotiations.
