The House passes Ukraine aid, with 57 GOP no votes

The House passed nearly $40 billion for the Ukrainian war on Wednesday night, just hours after the legislation was introduced following a bipartisan, bicameral deal between GOP and Democratic appropriators.

Fifty-seven House Republicans voted against the bill, as the GOP lawmakers griped that they didn’t have enough time to review the 30-page legislation, dubbed the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act.

Among the Republicans opposing the bill: Republican Study Committee Chair Jim Banks (Ind.), House Republican Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson (La.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio). House Freedom Caucus Scott Perry (R-Pa.) and other hardline Republicans in that group also voted no.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Minority Whip Steve Scalise and Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik all voted yes.

Noteworthy – There were no House Democrats voting against the package, including the Squad.

The Ukaine legislation will now move to the Senate, which has promised to take it up and pass it quickly.
