Biden suggests he has path around Congress to get more aid to Ukraine, says he plans major speech

President Joe Biden plans to give a major speech on aid for Ukraine amid potential opposition from House Republicans. He suggested that if Congress continues to resist, there may be an alternative means to provide support for Kyiv. Biden did not specify the alternate method or the timing of his speech. The resistance from some Republicans has raised concerns about the future of funding for Ukraine. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was recently ousted from his post, which came at a political cost due to the agreement to keep the government open without the requested supplemental aid for Ukraine.
