The House of Representatives has passed Speaker Mike Johnson’s $95B foreign aid package.

This includes the controversial $60B bill for Ukraine. The vote was 311 to 112 on that bill. Only 101 Republicans voted for it; 112 voted against it. All 210 Democrats that voted on this piece of legislation supported it.

The House also passed $26B in aid for Israel and humanitarian relief for Gaza. This piece of Johnson’s plan has overwhelming bipartisan support. The vote was 366 to 58.

The package of bills also included aid for Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific as well as a fourth bill containing various national security priorities.

This now goes to the Senate, and they will take this up on Tuesday.
