"Senate to Address Immigration, National Security, and Ukraine Aid in New Year Amid Border Negotiations"

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that negotiations on immigration and a larger national security package, including aid for Ukraine and Israel, will continue into the new year. The Senate will not have any more floor votes this year, with hopes of swift action on the national security supplemental in January. The negotiations, which have been ongoing since October, remain stalled, and it is expected to take weeks to reach a deal. The White House warned that Ukraine's aid package scheduled for later this month will be the last this year without a deal from Congress.
