- The House passed a more than $60 billion bill that provides more military aid to Ukraine.
- It’s part of a larger foreign aid package that’s likely to pass the Senate and be signed into law.
- 112 Republicans voted it against — the most ever, and a majority of the GOP conference.
…
Saturday’s vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber.
In the two years since Russia’s invasion, opposition to aiding Ukraine has grown from a fringe position to a majority view among House GOP lawmakers. Many argue the money should be spent domestically or that policy changes at the US-Mexico border should take precedence.
Here are the 112 House Republicans who voted against the bill.
Common misconception but no, actually, each portion got a separate vote. 112 legislators voted against aid to Ukraine, 58 voted against aid to Israel.
Oh that is a surprise. They usually bundle the shit out of these things.
The senate has to vote on it as a bundle or send it back to the house if I’m not mistaken, but the house got to vote on individual things. I hope I’m wrong, Ukraine needs us but also Fuck Israel.
In this instance they had to unbundle them because of the overlapping opposition to the different elements. Combined all of that opposition was enough to sink the whole thing, separated no one issue had enough opposition to fail.
