Biden tells congressional leaders that Ukraine, COVID are priorities

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday said that securing funding for Ukraine and COVID-19 are his priorities before Republicans take control of the House of Representatives early next year.

Biden held talks with Democratic and Republican leaders of the House of Representatives and the Senate on what can be done in the remaining weeks when Democrats still control both chambers.

Republicans won a narrow majority in the House in the Nov. 8 midterm elections and will take over in January, complicating Biden's agenda for the next two years. Biden's Democrats retained control of the Senate.

Biden said as the leaders began their talks that he wanted to discuss "what we're going to do between now and Christmas in terms of legislation."

Republicans like MTG think GOP stands for gang of Putin.
