He’s already playing too hard, – Piontkovsky said how Trump is intimidating Republicans about helping Ukraine

The US Senate did support a package bill, according to which Ukraine should be allocated more than $60 billion. At the same time, Trump intimidated Republicans so that they would not vote for this initiative.

About this 24 Channelsaid Russian publicist and opposition politician from the United States Andrei Piontkovsky, noting that the majority of Democrats in the Senate is very conditional – there the difference is literally a few votes. The same situation applies to Republicans in the House of Representatives. There is an advantage of only 4 – 5 votes.

The position of Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson is also vulnerable. Trump may well threaten that the Republicans will force his resignation if he does something wrong.

How Trump can intimidate congressmen -Republicans

As Piontkovsky noted, Trump can put pressure on other Republican congressmen. This year there will be elections for Congress – and candidates must go through primaries.

To get to this election, you need to go through the primaries. This is a serious flaw in American policy. Using Nikki Haley as an example. She is popular among Americans, according to polls. But she is having a hard time getting through the primaries. This is a barrier. The most committed and disciplined members of the party come to vote there. Not the whole party comes. And Trump actively controls various fanatics there. He may simply threaten to incite a crowd that will simply “sink” you in the primaries,” said Piontkovsky.

Despite this, there are still people among the Republican congressmen who are ready to adhere to their own principles. Therefore, there is hope that the aid bill for Ukraine will be adopted in the United States. At the same time, European politicians are also calling on congressmen to finally approve this initiative.

Trump has already played too much. He believes that he grabbed God by the beard along with Putin. He does not hide his connections with Putin. This may “come back to haunt him,” noted Piontkovsky.

Military assistance for Ukraine

• The US Senate supported the package bill on international assistance. According to it, Ukraine should receive more than 60 billion dollars. This document now heads to the House of Representatives.
• US President Joe Biden called on the House of Representatives to immediately support this bill. It is essential to advancing the interests of the United States.
• US House Speaker Mike Johnson has stated that he will not bring this bill to a vote. However, there are options to get around this if Johnson does not bring the initiative to a vote.
