The U.S. Senate has blocked a bipartisan border security-foreign aid bill in a 49-50 vote, which included $118 billion in aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell voted against the bill, stating 'It will not become law', echoing Speaker Johnson's declaration that the bill was 'dead on arrival.' Senate Republicans set to block the bill led to its failure despite months of negotiations. The rejection of the border bill also affected the House, where a $17.6 billion Israel aid package failed to pass due to a lack of a two-thirds majority. The Senate may still consider a separate aid package for Ukraine and Israel without the border security provisions.
