I think they were also waiting because they were hoping for a red wave and counting on Republicans to cut off the flow of aid to Ukraine.

That would not work. US will guarantee aid for Ukraine next year anyway with already passed packages. Putin's puppets would only be able to stop 2024 and later, but the war might be over by then anyway.
