The U.S. Senate is working over the Super Bowl weekend to advance a $95.34 billion international aid bill that provides support to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Despite delays caused by Sen. Rand Paul's pledge to delay votes, the Senate passed a key procedural hurdle with a 67-27 vote to overcome a filibuster. This test vote required a 60-vote majority to proceed. The package aims to support allies and provide humanitarian relief, including for the Palestinian people. A bipartisan delegation from the U.S. House Intelligence Committee, including Rep. Spanberger, recently visited Ukraine to reaffirm bipartisan support. The Senate's next votes on the package are expected on Sunday, with the final passage's fate in the House still uncertain.
