What will a Democratic Congress mean for Ukraine?​

While Donald Trump’s party suffered a stinging defeat in midterm elections this week, his efforts to end the war in Ukraine continue as negotiators from the US, Russia and Ukraine are set to meet in Abu Dhabi next week. With Democrats now in control of both chambers of Congress, lawmakers are looking to use their spending and oversight powers to bolster support for Ukraine and impose further sanctions on the Russian economy.

Democrats on Capitol Hill are looking to put together a new package of security assistance for Kyiv, which one Democratic aide on the House foreign affairs committee put to be in the range of $15bn.

You sure about that?

Democrats can do anything they want. Trump has a veto pen. I doubt the Democrats will be able to get enough Republicans on board to override a veto

We've not had that since the early 2000s. late 1800s.

I was introduced to Steve Bannon by a German-American lady friend around the 2020 elections, IIRC. She denies she is for any political party but she has a big MAGA sticker on her car for a decade. Haha.
Here is Steve Bannon about the Midterms. I have only watched first dozen minutes of the video. Steve, like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, is/was a stalwart of the MAGA movement and just like those two others, Steve can't pointedly blame Trump and is careful about blaming Israel. Yes, they all blame Israel, as Steve does in this video, but they seem to shy away from blaming President Trump himself directly.
When will people grow a spine and admit they bet on the wrong horse? It is the same question I ask of Pakistanis here about their love for a certain discredited imprisoned leader of Pakistan. Why not admit you were wrong and that you put your faith in a psychopath, Narcist person whether in America or in Pakistan.

Anyway, here is Steve:
