<p>With the Thanksgiving holiday weekend coming to an end, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate</a> Majority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chuck-schumer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chuck Schumer</a> (D-NY) announced his plan for a quick vote on President Joe Biden&#8217;s request for <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/whats-bidens-106-billion-supplemental-funding-request-2023-10-20/#:~:text=Oct%2020(Reuters)%20%2D%20U.S.,Indo%2DPacific%20and%20border%20enforcement." target="_blank" rel="noopener">roughly $106 billion</a> in <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/10/20/fact-sheet-white-house-calls-on-congress-to-advance-critical-national-security-priorities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">funds for Israel, Ukraine</a>, and other national security priorities.</p>
<p>The top Senate Democrat <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/dear_colleague_112623.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a &#8220;Dear Colleague&#8221; letter</a> on Sunday that he aims to bring the &#8220;supplemental&#8221; package that also includes money for Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific, among other things, to the floor &#8220;as soon as the week of December 4th.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schumer claimed the &#8220;biggest holdup&#8221; is the &#8220;insistence&#8221; by <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mike-johnson-israel-ukraine-immigration-gop-agenda-e4054f12f83cfaa09044aa3d087396a8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republicans</a> to link aid to Ukraine, which is fighting against Russian invaders, to &#8220;partisan&#8221; U.S. border security policy. &#8220;This has injected a decades old, hyper-partisan issue into overwhelmingly bipartisan priorities,&#8221; Schumer said, adding that &#8220;hard-right demands&#8221; — such as those seen in the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/11/politics/house-gop-border-bill-vote/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border security bill passed</a> by the House earlier this year — &#8220;jeopardize&#8221; the entire package.</p>
<p>The Senate roadmap is sure to set up a clash with the GOP-led House after it passed legislation to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-gop-proposes-israel-aid-offset-by-irs-budget-cuts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offset $14.3 billion</a> in aid for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel</a> in its war with Hamas by slashing the same amount of funds meant for the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/internal-revenue-service-irs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internal Revenue Service (IRS)</a>. That measure passed with bipartisan support, but Schumer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/schumer-announces-senate-wont-even-consider-house-gop-israel-aid-proposal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a> by saying the upper chamber would not even consider the proposal.</p>
<p>And though Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) has signaled openness to funding other national security concerns raised by the Biden administration, including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-denies-zelensky-opportunity-to-address-joint-session-of-congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more funds</a> for the Ukraine defense effort and border security, he stressed they must be considered in the &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-hopes-to-change-washington-starting-with-israel-aid-offset-by-irs-cuts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proper order</a>&#8221; as the House strives to be &#8220;good stewards of the taxpayers’ resources&#8221; under his watch.</p>
<p>In his letter, Schumer shared additional priorities for the Democrat-controlled Senate, including passing the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/schumer-moves-to-force-disclosure-of-ufo-secrets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Defense Authorization Act</a> before the end of 2023, negotiating with the House on full-year spending bills ahead of two government shutdown deadlines early next year, and setting up a classified briefing to update senators on the situation in Ukraine.</p>
<p>The New York Democrat also declared that he will have the full Senate consider <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4309704-senate-rules-panel-paves-way-to-break-tubervilles-military-holds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a resolution passed</a> by the Rules Committee to break Sen. Tommy Tuberville&#8217;s (R-AL) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senator-reports-former-cia-director-to-capitol-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">months-long “hold”</a> on the Senate’s ability to quickly approve U.S. military nominees in protest against a Pentagon abortion policy.</p>
<p>&#8220;Senators should expect long days and nights, and potentially weekends in December,&#8221; Schumer <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/dear_colleague_112623.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in ending his letter</a>.</p>
