During a portion of an interview with MSNBC released on Friday, President Joe Biden responded to House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) promise that if Republicans take control of Congress, there won't be a "blank check" for Ukraine and people won't support a blank check by saying that he "can understand somebody having that view who's uninformed," and that while a lot of money is being spent in Ukraine, "it's so much more than the Ukrainians. It's about NATO. It's about Western Europe. It's about making sure that Putin is not able to succeed in the way that he is using the brutality of his activities."
