Congress returns to big fights over Ukraine aid, Title 42, COVID-19 relief – USA TODAY

Congress at odds over Ukraine, COVID-19, Title 42

  • Pelosi said the House will take up Biden’s request for another $800 million in Ukraine military aid.
  • Biden is facing Democratic pushback on Title 42, a pandemic-era immigration rule he is ending.
  • Ukraine’s ongoing fight to repel a Russian invasion has so far received bipartisan congressional support.

WASHINGTON – Congress will return from spring recess on Monday afternoon to requests from President Joe Biden, surging consumer prices, an immigration debate, party infighting and looming deadlines. 

Lawmakers will make decisions on White House requests, such as aid packages for COVID-19 relief and Ukraine, along with some of their own competing priorities.
