The Spin
Democratic narrative
This request, which enjoys strong support, demonstrates that the US continues to stand in firm support of Ukraine against Russia's illegal invasion. There will be some challenges for it to pass, but it should do so.
Republican narrative
This exorbitant request promises huge sums of money to Ukraine while continuing to neglect America's vast problems at home. In fact, it will send six times the amount of money to Ukraine, compared with how much Biden has requested for the problems at the border and the fentanyl crisis.
