Nine GOP Sens. Flip Votes to Help Pass Foreign Aid Bill

Ten senators — including nine Republicans — changed their position from two months ago to help advance in a procedural vote Tuesday — and finally pass — the $95 billion foreign aid package.

The Senate advanced the measure 80-19 before passing it in a final vote late Tuesday night 79-18. President Joe Biden has vowed to fast-track signing the legislation into law.

Nine GOP senators who previously voted against the aid package for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region in February, helped to pass it along Tuesday: Katie Britt, Ala.; Tom Cotton, Ark.; Deb Fischer, Neb.; Lindsey Graham, S.C.; Cindy Hyde-Smith, Miss.; James Lankford, Okla.; Markwayne Mullin, Okla.; Pete Ricketts, Neb.; and Tim Scott, S.C.
