GOP Blocks Aid to Ukraine and Israel, Stalling National Security Bill

The Senate failed to advance President Joe Biden's national security package as Republicans filibustered the bill due to a lack of immigration limits. The vote was 49-51, with Republicans and Senator Bernie Sanders voting against moving forward. The failed vote puts U.S. aid to Ukraine and Israel in jeopardy, despite Biden's urgent plea to approve it to counter Russia's aggression. Senate negotiations on border security and immigration policy have reached an impasse, with irreconcilable differences between Republicans and Democrats. Even if a deal is reached in the Senate, it may face challenges in the House.
