White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on ThisWeekABC that the war in Ukraine hasn't devolved into a stalemate but he acknowledged it remains 'hard going' against Russia.
But major conservative figures outside of Congress have voiced skepticism over the scope of U.S. support. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a 2024 White House hopeful, said last week, "I think that right now you have an open-ended blank check. There’s no clear objective for victory. And this is kind of dragging on and on." Other prominent voices, like former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, contend that the U.S. should focus on domestic problems rather than look abroad.
But, pointing to a joint statement from Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer, he said, "I actually think there is a strong backing for Ukraine in the Congress, not just among Democrats, but among Republicans as well." White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan speaks during a press briefing at the White House, on July 7, 2023, in Washington, D.C.
"Trying to mix up domestic political issues into support for America's military and America's troops, that's what the set of amendments that the Republicans brought forward did," Sullivan said.
