Senate overwhelmingly passes aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan in big bipartisan vote

LA Times  

American and Ukrainian flags wave outside the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. The Senate has passed a package of $95 billion in military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and humanitarian assistance for Gaza, sending the legislation to President Biden after months of delays and contentious debate over how involved the United States should be in foreign wars. In an interview with the Associated Press shortly before the vote, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer said that if Congress hadn’t passed the aid, “America would have paid a price economically, politically, militarily.” “Very few things we have done have risen to this level of historic importance,” he said. On the Senate floor, Schumer said the chamber was sending a message to U.S. allies: “We will stand with you.” Schumer and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky made passage of the legislation a top priority, agreeing to link the Ukraine and Israel aid to help ensure passage and arguing that there could be dire consequences for the United States and global allies if Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression goes unchecked. “And that argument, I think, is winning the American people, and it’s slowly winning the Senate, but it’s not going to happen overnight.” The growing fault line in the GOP between those conservatives who are skeptical of the aid and more traditional Republicans who strongly support it may prove to be career-defining for the party’s top two congressional leaders.
