McConnell Casts Ukraine Vote as Victory Over Republican Party’s Isolationist Wing |
|
| Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said the bipartisan nature of the recent Ukraine aid vote marked a personal victory for him over the isolationist wing of the Republican Party skeptical of long-term military and economic support for Kyiv. “I am interested in diminishing the number of my members who believe that America somehow can exist alone in the world,” Mr. McConnell said in an interview. “I think the fact that only 11 in the end ended up voting against the package was indication of success in convincing a larger number of our members that no matter what was being said by some on the outside that those views were simply incorrect.” |
