- LIVE: US Senate Takes Up $95B Foreign Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan | USA News | CNBC TV18
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, during a fulsome press conference after the procedural vote, said he believes his party is beginning to beat back the trends of isolationism he has fought against. He concede that the isolationist streak in his party is not gone, but he said he believes progress has been made.
"If you're looking for a trend I think it's a trend in the direction that I would like to see us go, which is America steps up to its leadership role in the world and does what it needs to do," McConnell said.
Schumer applauded the bipartisan approach to pass this legislation -- including his work with McConnell. "Leader McConnell and I, who don't always agree, worked hand-in-hand and shoulder-to-shoulder to get this bill done. Together we were bipartisan and persistent," Schumer said.
The Senate is beginning work on a major foreign aid package for Ukraine and Israel on Tuesday, working to end a monthslong back and forth with the House over the assistance.
After the House approved the $95 billion in foreign aid in the form of four individual bills over the weekend, the legislation comes to the Senate as a single package that is expected to pass and then head to the president's desk later this week.
The package includes $60.8 billion in aid for Ukraine, $26.4 billion to support Israel, along with humanitarian aid for Gaza, and $8.1 billion for allies in the Indo-Pacific. It also includes provisions to allow the sale of frozen assets of Russian oligarchs to help fund future aid to Ukraine, along with a measure that would potentially force the sale of TikTok or ban the app in the U.S.
The upper chamber is slated to take procedural votes Tuesday afternoon, briefly returning from a scheduled recess to do so, before a vote on final passage likely by the next day.

Some one should tag this video who can watch 11 hours of this.
Of course they are thanking him they are all going to get a piece of that pie. Especially 10% to the big guy
Панове конгресмени, повага і безмежна вдячність! Своїм рішенням ви врятували дуже багато життів українців! Ви рятуєте світову демократію від знищення диктаторами. Божого благословення вам усім і американському народові! ❤🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦🇱🇷
I think we need to pray every time. Republicans don’t destroy our country for their own political power.
How much money did "THE USA" get out of this deal for the Southern border??? Nearly $100 BILLION and not a cent to secure our border. Pathetic ❗️
I am very glad that both votes went through. They also identified which members of Congress are Putin's agents or fellow travellers: 112 Representatives and 18 Senators.
These lifers need to be removed from government
Speaker Johnson is doing his job to make this great country the leader of democracy. That was the right attitude when he said, he feared not when doing the right things.
