Biden's strong backing for Ukraine's effort to repel Russia's invasion has been the rare issue where he's mustered bipartisan support. But this week’s first GOP presidential debate—and recent comments by former President Donald Trump on Ukraine— suggest that the dynamic will face a stress test as the 2024 presidential campaign heats up.

Republicans in Congress are investigating whether the State Department had anything to do with a Ukrainian NGO’s so-called “Enemies list” of GOP lawmakers, activists, think tanks, news outlets, and others that included The Daily Wire and several of its commentators.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday raising concerns about U.S. support of Anatoly Bondarenko and the group he founded, the Data Journalism Agency (TEXTY), that recently published a study with the list.

The study is titled “Rollercoaster: From Trumpists to Communists. The forces in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it.” It names 338 individuals and 76 organizations, including Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, and Brett Cooper.
