President Joe Biden took a slew of measures this week to support Ukraine in its defense against Russia. While late, they could help make a difference.

The Pentagon will send Ukraine at least $275 million in new weapons, including an undisclosed number of antipersonnel land mines, as the Biden administration rushes to do as much as it can to help Kyiv fight back against Russia before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) called New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) “the new Joe Biden,” an apparent nod to pushback the president faced for not dropping out of the presidential race despite the slew of figures who called on him to do so earlier this year.

"Waiting until it’s too late gave us a Republican President in 2024 and could give us a Republican Governor in 2026," Torres said. "Let’s avoid repeating history and avoid sleepwalking toward impending disaster and defeat.
