Senate Passes $95 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel & Taiwan | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A number of bitterly divided Republicans in the Senate joined Democrats passing the $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The vote was 70 to 29 in the early hours of the morning, but the bill's future in the House is uncertain. Speaker Mike Johnson already said he will kill the legislation in its current form because it's "silent" on border security. Prior to its passing in the Senate there were a lot of Republican objections. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called the bill historic and is now challenging Republican leadership in the House to get it passed. Senator Schumer says, "The responsibility now falls on Speaker Johnson and House Republicans to approve this bill swiftly. And I call on Speaker Johnson to rise to the occasion, to do the right thing, bring this bill to the floor." In the Senate, prior to the vote, those against sending more money to Ukraine and not securing America's border, spoke out. Senator Rand Paul says, "Open the champagne, pop the cork, the Senate Democrat leader and Republican leader are on their way to Kyiv. They've got $60 billion dollars they're bringing. I don't know whether it will be cash in pallets, but they're taking your money to Kyiv."
