Senate advances $95B Ukraine and Israel aid package, setting stage for expedited vote
Fox News
The Senate voted to quickly end debate over a $95 billion foreign aid package, which allots assistance for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, setting the stage to swiftly pass the bills.
Julia Johnson is a politics writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business, leading coverage of the U.S. Senate. She was previously a politics reporter at the Washington Examiner.
Included in the package of bills is aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, as well as a measure requiring TikTok to divest from Chinese-owned ByteDance, and the REPO Act, which would allow $5 billion in Russian assets held in U.S. banks to be transferred to Ukraine.

Schumer pleaded with fellow senators in remarks on the Senate floor ahead of the vote, telling them, "Let us not delay this. Let us not prolong this. Let us not keep our friends around the world waiting for a moment longer."
