Some described the briefing as uninsightful and urged Biden to focus on securing the border.
House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul said, “If [Vladimir] Putin takes over Ukraine, he’ll get Moldova, Georgia, then maybe the Baltics.”
“And then the idea that we’ll have to put troops on the ground in Secretary Austin’s word was very likely,” McCaul added.
“That’s what we’re trying to avoid,” he explained.
House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters, “I don’t think we got the clarity that we’ve been requesting,” and that “It remains to be seen whether members are satisfied with the answers provided.”
Rep. John Duarte demanded that Biden “start negotiating and quit screwing around with vacuous briefings that tell us things we already know.”
Rep. Donalds echoed that, “Joe Biden needs to do his job, secure our border.”
“You do that, then members of Congress will talk.”
