“There have been no sharp disagreements.” “It’s sort of all in, short of sending American troops,” says Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma, a senior House Republican who told me the consensus extended to high-level classified briefings that top Biden-administration officials have given to lawmakers. Read our ongoing coverage of the Russian invasion in Ukraine Other polls have found even less support for sending U.S. About six in 10 people said the United States should do more to assist Ukraine, but just 42 percent supported military intervention if the sanctions don’t force Russia to withdraw. In a CNN poll conducted in the days after the invasion, 83 percent of respondents said they backed sanctions on Russia that support barely differed among Democrats, Republicans, and independents. To a remarkable degree, Americans support the economic punishment that Biden has sought to inflict on Russia even as voters oppose-as does the president-a deployment of U.S. That brief display of unity inside the Capitol will reflect a broad and, in recent times, unusual consensus across the country as a whole.
