"Senate Advances Ukraine Aid Bill Despite GOP Division and Trump's Criticism"
TL;DR
A bipartisan coalition of Republican senators, despite pressure from former President Donald J. Trump and right-wing allies, has broken with the party to back a $95 billion foreign aid package, including $60.1 billion to help Ukraine fend off a Russian invasion. The coalition's support has helped advance the legislation through the Senate, with more than a third of Republicans casting multiple votes to keep the aid bill moving forward, despite opposition from the bulk of G.O.P. senators, Republican leaders in the House, and Trump.
