Politico writes that Zelensky is coming to Washington "in search of unexpected new friends," but he has failed to win over Trump's supporters. Only Comer was swayed.

"Many staunch Trump allies, who hold a hardline 'America First' stance, do not share Comer's shift in views in the Capitol. This is particularly true of a group of Republicans in the House of Representatives who have long pressured the leadership of the Republican Party to end U.S. military and economic aid to Ukraine.

'I can't speak for MAGA, but I'm not going to support Ukraine,' said Congressman Tim Burchett, a Republican from Tennessee.

Other Republicans in Congress who support the MAGA movement have claimed that Comer is being paid to promote his new, pro-Ukraine position, and that no Republican lawmaker has changed their views on Ukraine.
