Senators passed a $95 billion bill early Tuesday providing aid to Ukraine and Israel along with humanitarian aid to Gaza, in a bipartisan 70-29 vote despite objections from Republican senators who fought the U.S. sending more aid to Ukraine.
The Senate passed the foreign aid bill early Tuesday in a 70-29 vote.
The bill passed with the help of 22 Republican votes, while Democratic Sens. Jeff Merkley (Ore.) and Peter Welch (Vt.) and Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) voted against it.
The $95.3 billion bill includes approximately $60 billion in aid to Ukraine, approximately $14.1 billion to support military operations in Israel, $9.2 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza and more than $8 billion to Taiwan and operations in the Indo-Pacific region to deter Chinese aggression.
Senators previously jettisoned an earlier version of the bill that also included immigration reforms and border security measures, but the bill successfully moved forward when those provisions were dropped.
