The U.S. Senate has passed a resolution to support Kyiv and urging President Biden to “impose significant costs” if Russia invaded Ukraine

The Senate’s resolution, which passed on Thursday night by a voice vote, comes as senators prepare to take a break from duties, despite growing concern from U.S. officials, including President Biden, that an invasion by Moscow is imminent.

“By acting in bipartisan fashion today, the United States Senate sent a strong message to Russia and the world that we stand with Ukraine,”
Sen. Rob Portman said in a statement.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen, who sponsored the resolution with Mr. Portman, added that “by overwhelmingly voting in favour of this resolution, today the Senate spoke with one voice.”

“Democrats and Republicans are united and committed to supporting our Ukrainian partners against the Kremlin’s escalating violence and aggression. Putin will make a gross miscalculation and suffer the full weight of the U.S. Congress if he decides to further invade Ukraine,”
Shaheen said.

The Senate’s passage of the resolution, which was co-sponsored by roughly 40 senators, comes after Senate leadership and members of top committees released a joint statement which stated that if Russian President Putin escalated “his ongoing assault on Ukraine’s sovereignty, Russia must be made to pay a severe price.”

Trump’s approval plummets to 38% amid cost of living concerns and Epstein files backlash

In Short:
– Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 38% due to concerns over costs and the Epstein investigation.
– Only 26% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of everyday expenses amidst rising inflation.

A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 38%, marking the lowest level since his return to power. Dissatisfaction stems from rising living costs and concerns regarding the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.The four-day poll, concluding on November 18, reveals only 26% of Americans approve of Trump’s management of everyday expenses. Increasing public concern regarding inflation has further eroded support. The Republican-controlled House recently passed a measure to release Justice Department files on Epstein, an issue Trump initially resisted but later supported.

Poll findings show Trump’s overall approval has declined two points since early November. He began his second term with a 47% approval rating, now nearing lows seen during his first term. Biden’s approval fell as low as 35%, reflective of economic discontent.

Republican Support Wanes

Trump’s approval rating among Republican voters is now 82%, a decrease from 87% earlier this month. The perception that he is not adequately addressing living costs is a significant concern, contributing to reduced popularity among constituents. Notably, only 20% approve of Trump’s handling of the Epstein case, with 70% believing the government is withholding information.

Trump’s economic strategy, which included tax increases on imports, has been criticized for contributing to rising prices. As midterm elections approach, his declining popularity may pose challenges for Republican candidates in upcoming races.
