The House approved it last week after beefing up its defense and humanitarian expenditures, and Senate passage was not in doubt, though a modest group of America First-minded Republicans was expected to vote “no.” Biden's quick signature was certain as Russia's attack, which has mauled Ukraine's forces and cities, slogs into a fourth month with no obvious end ahead. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion is “a dangerous spark to be stamped out" before it succeeds or encourages other countries like China to launch attacks in their regions. In a personal criticism seen seldom on the Senate floor, Schumer on Wednesday called Paul's move “repugnant" and said the delay, with passage inevitable, would “strengthen Putin's hand." Asked why saving $40 billion in this instance outweighed stopping Russia, he said, “Number one, it's going to pass.” Another conservative, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that as costly as the measure is, the aid will protect U.S. national security and said, “If Putin wins, the consequences for America and American taxpayers will be hundreds of billions of dollars.” Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, a moderate who has clashed with Trump, said in an interview that helping Ukraine defend itself ”is about as smart an investment as we could possibly make.” He added, “What does America First mean?
