Biden's package includes aid for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and the Southern Border
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is flanked by Senators' Joni Ernst, John Tune and Shelley Moore Capito, as he speaks to reporters after the weekly Senate caucus lunches at the Capitol, Oct. 24, 2023.
In the Senate, there's a small but not insignificant group of Republicans who have called repeatedly on Senate leadership to allow them to consider the measures separately. "I do think it needs to be comprehensive," McConnell said of the supplemental request. "I think it needs to deal with all of these because they are all interrelated."
Republicans say they'll need substantive policy changes at the border -- not just additional funding -- in order to back the Biden supplemental. "This needs to be deterrence, needs to be a change in policy, it needs to be make sure that what we're going to do is see these numbers come down not just a little bit but very very measurably," Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va. said.Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, at a press conference Tuesday, made his objection to the GOP position clear.
