<p>Leaders of the House Democrats said they &#8220;expect&#8221; House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-mccarthy">Kevin McCarthy</a> (R-CA) to queue up a Ukraine aid vote following the passage of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-stopgap-spending-measure-with-no-additional-support-for-ukraine">short-term spending bill</a> that averted a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/government-shutdown">government shutdown</a>.</p>
<p>The joint statement, <a href="https://democraticleader.house.gov/media/press-releases/joint-house-democratic-leadership-statement-passage-continuing-resolution">released</a> by the office of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on Saturday, was quickly referred to as a &#8220;side deal&#8221; with Democrats by some Republicans who opposed the 45-day continuing resolution.</p>
<p>&#8220;When the House returns, we expect Speaker McCarthy to advance a bill to the House Floor for an up-or-down vote that supports Ukraine, consistent with his commitment to making sure that Vladimir Putin, Russia and authoritarianism are defeated,&#8221; the joint statement said. &#8220;We must stand with the Ukrainian people until victory is won.&#8221;</p>
<p>The statement was issued by Jeffries, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA), Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-CA), and Vice Chair Ted Lieu (D-CA).</p>
<p>The House passed a 45-day continuing resolution <a href="https://apnews.com/article/congress-ukraine-budget-security-assistance-799067491a1bba9671b4dfdf491d0a8e">without more aid for Ukraine</a> — which is more than a year and a half into a conflict to fend off Russian invaders — by a <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023513">335-91 vote.</a> The Democrat-led Senate approved it, and President Joe Biden signed the bill on Saturday night. The stop-gap legislation gives lawmakers time to come to an agreement on spending various parts of the federal government in the new fiscal year.</p>

<p>The House Democrat leadership statement prompted a firestorm on social media, although it remains unclear what the House would do next when it reconvenes.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wow. [McCarthy] made a side Ukraine deal with Democrats and didn’t tell House Republicans until after his Continuing Resolution passed. More deceit,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1708269890627363163/quotes">said</a> Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) in a post to X. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepLuna/status/1708317462410690659">shared</a> a public letter that urged McCarthy to &#8220;call for peace talks before you request more funding for a country that is not our own.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gaetz, while appearing on Sunday morning talk shows, also said he would move for a no-confidence vote against McCarthy that could lead to his ouster as speaker in the coming week, citing multiple gripes with the leader, including the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-denies-zelensky-opportunity-to-address-joint-session-of-congress">Ukraine matter</a>.</p>
<p>As <a href="https://twitter.com/JacquiHeinrich/status/1708270528249647261">noted</a> by Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich, McCarthy &#8220;needs&#8221; support from Democrats to overcome any motion to vacate, and they are &#8220;making an ask now that McCarthy bring a Ukraine bill to the floor.&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden has asked Congress for roughly $24 billion in additional military and humanitarian assistance tied to the Ukraine conflict on top of the roughly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-denies-zelensky-opportunity-to-address-joint-session-of-congress">$113 billion previously allocated</a>.</p>
