To pass Ukraine aid, 'Reagan Republican' leaders in Congress navigated a party transformed by Trump
For Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Mike Johnson, the necessity of providing Ukraine with weapons and other aid as it fends off Russia's invasion is rooted in their earliest and most formative political memories.
