"Senate Breakthrough: Bipartisan Support Propels $95B Ukraine-Israel Aid Package"

The Senate overcame a procedural hurdle in a 67-27 vote to advance a $95 billion supplemental aid package for Israel, Ukraine, and other allies, with 18 Republicans joining Democrats. The bill includes roughly $61 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, and $4.83 billion for Indo-Pacific allies, as well as language to address the fentanyl crisis. Senate leadership is largely on board with the Ukraine supplemental, but there has been some GOP resistance among rank-and-file senators, and the bill's passage in the House of Representatives remains uncertain.
