Rep. Spartz on How To End The War In Ukraine Now
On Monday, President Biden’s 2023 Budget Proposal would give $6.9 billion in aid to Ukraine on top of the $13.6 billion in funding he signed off on earlier this month. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has left the country in ruins and its people dying without proper resources. Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (R-IN) grew up in Ukraine and has friends and family who remain trapped in the chaos. She joins the Rundown to discuss her recent trip to Poland, the horrific conditions experienced by those in Mariupol, and what the world should be doing to aid Ukraine and prevent a world war.
2022 has proved to be a year of major disagreements on Capitol Hill, with lawmakers struggling to find a middle ground on a variety of issues. Despite the rare bipartisan agreement on the support for Ukraine, many in the Senate are split when it comes to supporting President Biden’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. As they weigh their nomination votes, senators are also engaged in tense negotiations for a new coronavirus relief package, with the main point of contention being how this package will be paid for. Former Texas Congressman Will Hurd’s new book, American Reboot, unpacks the issue of partisan disagreement and he joins to discuss his thoughts on the 2022 midterm elections, how Republicans can generate substantial change through policy, and his philosophy surrounding the belief that a political party should be “driven by the people it represents”.
