The people who confirmed the timing of the funding requests — which are expected to cover one year — stressed that they are subject to change. President Joe Biden is expected to make a formal appeal for swiftly approving aid to Ukraine and Israel in a prime-time speech Thursday night, arguing that supporting the two allied nations is critical to U.S. national security interests.
Progressives have called for a funding pitch from the White House that included both foreign and domestic spending — arguing that while constituents care about aiding Ukraine and Israel, they also need support at home. However, Republicans are likely to balk at the request’s expansive child care spending and other domestic priorities.
A group of progressive senators, including Sen. Tina Smith , have pushed the Biden administration to add the child care funding, which would fill the void left when pandemic-era federal aid for child care expired on Sept. 30. They’ve based their request on the approximately $16 billion that was provided annually during the pandemic.
