How the Senate Voted on Foreign Aid to Ukraine, ******* and Taiwan

The Senate on Tuesday passed the long-stalled $95.3 billion package of aid to Ukraine, ******* and Taiwan, along with legislation that could lead to a ban on TikTok, clearing the measure and sending it to President Biden for his signature.

The overwhelming vote reflected wide bipartisan support for the measure, which passed the House on Saturday by lopsided margins after a tortured journey through Congress, where it was nearly derailed by right-wing resistance.

The measure includes $60.8 billion for Ukraine; $26.4 billion for ******* and humanitarian aid for civilians in conflict zones, including Gaza; and $8.1 billion for the Indo-Pacific region. It also would impose a new round of sanctions on Iran, and require the ***** of TikTok by its ******** owner or ban the app in the ******* States.

The measure had been stalled for months on Capitol Hill, where right-wing Republicans opposed to the aid for Ukraine pressured Speaker Mike Johnson not to allow it to be considered unless their demands for a severe border enforcement bill were met.

But when Republicans, egged on by former President Donald J. Trump, rejected linking it to a bipartisan border deal, the Senate passed the foreign assistance package on its own in February and pressured the House to do the same.

It took Mr. Johnson two additional months to figure out a way to steer around his right flank and do so. He used a convoluted maneuver in which the House cast separate votes to push through the pieces of the package and sent them to the Senate as one bill.

The TikTok provision was included as part of an effort to sweeten the deal for conservatives. Lawmakers have repeatedly cited the potential for Beijing to gain access to U.S. user data or to use the app for ***********, including ahead of this year’s presidential election.
