“The Congressional Progressive Caucus on Tuesday announced it is withdrawing a letter to President Biden calling on him to couple military aid to Ukraine with a ‘proactive diplomatic push’ to end hostilities with Russia,” Axios reports.
“The letter appeared to indicate that some on the Democratic Party’s left flank were advocating a softening of U.S. policy towards the war in Ukraine, though several members who signed on now say that’s not their position.”
Punchbowl News: “Well, this is a disaster for the Congressional Progressive Caucus and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the group’s chair.”
“Jayapal has made no secret of her desire to be in Democratic leadership in a post Nancy Pelosi era. But this is a very high-profile misstep for the Washington State Democrat.”
