despite their great spirit. >> well, i'm so glad that you bring up two points. one, that he did choose his words very carefully on donald trump. the factor of israel, the fact that ukraine is so concerned, matt gorman, that the world has forgotten about them as the attention has turned to the middle east, to what's happening in gaza. of course, house speaker mike johnson really at the center of the battle for more aid for ukraine and israel. both were approved yesterday, but there's so much opposition within his own party. three conservative republicans threatening to oust him over this. it seemed like the temperature was turned down a little bit yesterday. what is your assessment? how in jeopardy is his job? >> in the short-term, not as much as i think people think. the real threat to mike johnson isn't now. it's november. it's post-election. republicans will choose their leaders for the next congress.

stabilize the situation and to overtake the initiative. and that's why we need to actually have the weapon systems. when we get it, when we have it in our arms, then we do have the chance to take this initiative and to move ahead and to protect ukraine. but giving the u.s. a specific timeline of the war, well, it depends on how soon we get this aid. there are so many variables, so many factors. sometimes when we protect the important line, you retreat because you don't have enough forces and equipment. and then retaking that line would take two or three times more. i'm not saying that this is how it's going to end up, but things are possible. i can give you an example with f-16.

make a difference? >> translator: it's been so important. first of all, i would like to say thanks to the congress for the bipartisan support, and i'd like to say thanks to speaker johnson and president biden. indeed, it is so important, the support from the united states of america. of course, the support of the american people because, of course, the political decisions depend on the public opinion. this aid will strengthen ukraine and send the kremlin a powerful signal that it will not be the second afghanistan. the united states will stay with ukraine, will protect the

>> you know, you said this week, president zelenskyy, that ukraine would have no chance of winning without more u.s. support. and i guess the question is, can ukraine now win this war, or is the united states merely giving you enough aid to prolong this war? >> translator: thank you. i think this support will really strengthen the armed forces of ukraine, and we will have a chance for victory if ukraine really gets the weapon systems, which we need so much. thousands of soldiers need so much. and this aid should not be just spread in thin layer all over, but it has to end up in tangible weapon systems. some really crucial weapon systems, which are hard to get.

ukrainians, and they will protect the democracy in the world. this is the show of leadership and strength of the united states. and i think, indeed, now we've reached this important moment. for half a year, we have been waiting, and i would like to say thanks to all the team on my side and on the u.s. side, the team who did everything so that we would get this positive vote. today, we definitely need this aid. and, kristen, you know, we really need to get this to the final point. we need to get it approved by the senate. and then we want to, well, get things as fast as possible so that we get some tangible assistance for the soldiers on the frontline as soon as possible, not in another six months. so that they would be able to move ahead.

democrats voted in favor. congress passed aid for israel and taiwan, along with a measure to force tiktok's parent company bytedance to sell the app. new aid came after mike johnson, who once opposed it, did an about-face and put his job on the line to get it through amid threats from three far right republicans to oust him. >> if we turn our backs right now, the consequences could be devastating. >> you are being asked to resign. >> do you plan to? >> no. as i said many times, i don't walk around this building being worried about a motion to vacate. i have to do my job. we did. i've done what i believe to be the right thing, allow the house to work its will. as i said, you do the right thing and you let the chips fall where they may. >> the pentagon has said it has a massive infusion of military aid for ukraine ready to go. it comes as ukrainian president zelenskyy said that without this

by five points in january. when third-party candidates are included, biden leads by two points, 39% to 37%. the president's job approval has ticked up to 42%, up five points from january. the last time we have seen a five-point increase for an incumbent president in their re-election year was bill clinton in 1996. there are still troubling numbers in the poll for biden. he trails trump by 22 points on dealing with inflation and the cost of living. all of it comes amid a major foreign policy development. six months after the president delivered an oval office speech pledging aid for ukraine, $61 billion in new funding finally passed on saturday, 311-112. >> the bill is passed. >> a moment of bipartisanship. in a congress primarily defined by its dysfunction. 101 republicans and 210

welcome back. the panel is here. andrea mitchell, democratic pollster cornell belcher and matt gorman. andrea, i have to start with you. there's a lot to unpack. let's start with president zelenskyy. what were your key takeaways from our conversation? >> that he is worried about the surge, the russian surge in what we expect to be may, june, july. this six months was critical. they had a really good chance of winning before the six months of no aid from the u.s., the weapons that only the u.s. can provide. after six months, they can lose. they can lose if the weapons don't get there soon enough. now it's supply chain. he pointed out the f-16s are still not there. they were approved a year ago. they need the long-range weapons. they still don't have the atacms, the long-range missiles.

u.s. or nato and russian aggression. so ukraine is still fighting, and ukraine is protecting all the others. >> but president zelenskyy, can you give americans a sense of the timeline? will you still need as much aid this time next year, or do you think you can turn the corner on russia? what's the timeline? >> translator: well, it depends on when we actually get weapons on the ground. as you said, kristen, if we get them in half a year -- well, we've had the process stalled for half a year, and we have losses in several directions. the losses in men, in equipment. in the east it was very difficult. we did lose the initiative there. now we have all the chance to
