Dozens of Republicans advocated for the administration do to more to punish Russia and help Ukraine Tuesday.
"There's a lot more we can do," Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., said Tuesday."The problem is the president hasn't led… My colleague Victoria Spartz, she said it better than anybody… We have a responsibility to the world to lead. There's a reason why the president of the United States is called the leader of the free world."
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., handed out small ribbons with the colors of Ukraine's flag on them. He said his staff made about 300 of them. There is, however, a small faction in the GOP, most visibly led in recent weeks by Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance, that opposes such international involvement by the U.S. especially while domestic problems like the opioid crisis and border crisis persist.
But few other Republicans are making the same case. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy each came out forcefully against Russia in recent days – even if they would criticize Biden for being too weak on Putin in the same breath.
