The suspicion is that Biden agreed to sign a stop-gap federal government funding deal that did not include Ukraine aid he wanted to provide, in exchange for McCarthy agreeing to hold a standalone vote on that aid later. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., demanded during an angry speech Monday targeting his fellow Republican McCarthy on the House floor. McCarthy on Monday denied that there was a secret plan for Ukraine funding. "There's an overwhelming number of Republicans and Democrats in both the House and the Senate who support Ukraine," Biden said at the White House. A standalone vote on emergency Ukraine funding would likely pass the House, but only with the help of Democratic votes.
