America Last: Senate Votes 86-11 to Send $40 Billion in Aid to Ukraine

The United States Senate voted 86-11 on Thursday morning to send $40 billion in aid to Ukraine, the Associated Press reported.

All of the 11 that voted against the bill were Republicans, and President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill soon.

The aid was approved by the House with a 368-57 vote last week, but Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blocked a quick passage of the bill in the Senate last Thursday over concerns about the fiscal impact of the bill and even proposed an amendment that would require an inspector general to look at how the money would be used, as we reported.
