To increase support obviously. The theory is that GOP representatives will vote for this bill saying they helped Israel, whereas Dems can say they are helping Ukraine (of course there are also local issues in e.g. districts with many Jewish voters). The 2-party system in combination with local representation means that bundling bills is the only way to ever pass anything.
That seems like a bit of a stretch. There seems to be very strong cross-party support for Ukraine aid. I don't see why that wouldn't pass in its own individual bill.
Yeah I'm sure the past several months of the Republicans refusing to support aid to Ukraine shows their strong support for sending aid to Ukraine.
This is being done in this Mannar because Republicans refuse to aid Ukraine without some kind of kickback
As I understand it, Republicans as a whole have not been refusing to support Ukraine.
Sure sure just 90+ % of them, that makes it totally cool...
Eh?
