"White House Meeting: Biden Pushes to Avoid Shutdown and Aid Ukraine, Israel"
TL;DR Summary
President Biden urged Congress to act quickly to avoid a government shutdown and pass emergency aid for Ukraine and Israel, emphasizing the urgent need for assistance. The legislative logjam in the GOP-led House has hindered progress on a $95 billion national security package that includes aid for Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific. With government funding for various sectors set to expire soon, Biden stressed the economic damage a shutdown would cause and called for a bipartisan solution. Senate leaders also emphasized the importance of keeping the government open and funding Ukraine, with discussions also touching on border security.
