A prominent House conservative has advocated for a significant alteration in foreign policy that would halt U.S. assistance to Ukraine until effective security measures are established at the American southern border.
Rep. Jim Banks, a Republican from Indiana, delivered this message during a keynote speech at the Indiana Republican Party’s 2023 State Dinner, garnering a standing ovation. Banks stated, “No more money to secure Ukraine’s border until we secure our own.”
During the same event, Indiana GOP Chairman Kyle Hupfer made an unusual announcement, declaring that Banks is the presumptive nominee for the U.S. Senate—a move that seems unprecedented.
