    Yes you’re both correct. It was during that three month period (late January to April) after the version with border security got killed by Trump’s meddling, where Republicans were trying to push a stand alone Israel aid bill without Ukraine aid, and Biden issued his veto threat to any standalone Israel aid bill. The article the person you’re replying to linked was in February, after the border security version one with everything together had failed.

      Sure, Johnson was trying to find alternatives and decided just to strip out border security in the end. He and Trump figured out that if Ukraine was lost they would be blamed. Biden, for his part, didn’t want piecemeal legislation at that point.
