Today the United States Senate voted 67-32 to advance a new funding package, providing fresh support for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan – all valued at roughly $95.3 billion. This bill does not provide any additional funding for border security, something that has drawn plenty of ire.
The bill will officially be put to a vote next week and must get passed then, before the lawmakers go on recess. The House will then eventually need to pass this.
The bill was supposed to be a bit bigger at nearly $118 billion which originally had funds for added border security, but got dropped and 17 Republicans voted to advance the new bill.
