In a recent development on Capitol Hill, 17 Republican senators have voted in favor of the initial test vote for a $95 billion foreign aid package. This package includes a substantial $60 billion allocation for Ukraine but no provisions for border security. However, while these 17 senators may support the final vote, it is important to note that the package still faces the possibility of being derailed.
Opposing the foreign aid package, Senator Rand Paul has vowed to slow down the process in order to ensure that Americans are well-informed about its implications. Senator Paul expressed his skepticism, pointing out that he knows of no conservative Republican in America who supports this package. He further stated his intention to keep senators in session throughout the weekend until their votes on the amendments are completed, even suggesting that they would finish up 'when hell freezes over.'
