Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., just walked onto the floor and called a bill that doesn’t include Ukraine funding — like the House bill — “awful, a simply terrible idea.”Kyle Stewart "This is an opportunity to make sure our troops get paid while we finish our job. ... So let’s keep it open while we finish the work that we have to get done," he said."How is it rushed if it’s just a basic CR? ... This only goes 45 days. This has nothing to do with anything else. The only thing that’s added into it, it helps the FAA," he said.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill. added: “I don’t see any possibility of voting for something without — and that’s pretty much the consensus of the Democrats — until we know what’s in there.”Frank Thorp VSenate Republicans are currently meeting in the Capitol to discuss the path forward, and the consensus appears to be that if the House were able to send its new 45-day stopgap CR that does not include Ukraine or border security money they would support it in the Senate.
