$96 Billion Ukraine-Israel Military Aid Bill Moves Closer to Passage Despite Trump’s Opposition
The Senate moved within striking distance of passing a $96 billion military aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan and additional funds for the operations in the Red Sea. The bill passed the first test on Wednesday by a 67-32 vote. Tonight’s vote was 67-27. The seventeen GOP votes that put the bill over the initial hurdle added one vote, Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma. Five Republicans and one Democrat did not vote.
