Bipartisan Support for Israel Wanes Amid New Limits Push
Confirmed
In Short: Bipartisan support for Israel is eroding as lawmakers push for new limits on military aid and other assistance.
However, the erosion of bipartisan support for Israel is part of a broader trend, with unusual coalitions of lawmakers, including polar opposites Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon, aligning with labor leaders and commentators over concerns about artificial intelligence.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), joined by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), blocked a renewed bipartisan push to make daylight saving time permanent, highlighting the challenges in achieving bipartisan consensus.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would send a long-awaited housing bill to President Trump, as legislators look to push through bipartisan legislation that could help many Americans find home ownership.
The shift in bipartisan support for Israel is also reflected in the mixed messaging from the White House, with President Trump dismissing Russia’s ongoing assault on Ukraine as not significant, while other officials emphasize the need for continued support for Ukraine.
Despite the erosion of bipartisan support, there remains a strong consensus on the importance of the Chesapeake Bay to Maryland's culture, history, and economy, with bipartisan efforts to restrict the harvest of Atlantic menhaden to protect the bay's ecosystem.
