WEX Wakeup: Zelensky asks for continued foreign aid; House fails to advance defense spending bill
#wexwakeup for Wednesday, September 20☕☀️
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky implored foreign leaders to continue supporting his country as Russia's war drags on during his Tuesday address in front of the United Nations General Assembly.
The House voted against beginning debate on its annual defense appropriations bill, failing to overcome a key procedural hurdle to advance the must-pass legislation through the lower chamber by the end of this week. Lawmakers voted 212-214 to begin consideration of the $826 billion spending bill, falling short of the majority vote needed to kick-start debate on more than 180 amendments lawmakers are seeking to attach to the funding bill. The vote deals a blow to GOP leaders who hoped to get the legislation through the lower chamber by the end of this week with just seven legislative days left before the Sept. 30 deadline.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) released a new video Wednesday teasing his energy policy strategy, vowing to undo the Biden administration’s policies and ramp up domestic fossil fuel production to lower gas prices to $2.
If elected president, DeSantis says in the video, “We're going to open up all energy production."
