The U.S. Senate passed a $1.7 trillion spending bill that finances federal agencies through September and provides another large round of aid to Ukraine. The bill now goes to the House for a final vote before it can be sent to President Biden's desk.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., left, speaks with Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., the House Appropriations Committee chair, the top Democrats in charge of the budget negotiations, as they await Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to address Congress, at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2022.
The bill passed by a vote of 68-29 and now goes to the House for a final vote before it can be sent to President Joe Biden to be signed into law. Senators heard from Zelenskyy about the importance of U.S. aid to his country for its war with Russia on Wednesday night. The measure provides about $45 billion in military, economic and humanitarian assistance for the devastated nation and NATO allies, more than Biden even requested, raising total assistance so far to more than $100 billion.
The spending bill is supported by Schumer and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, though for different reasons. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the top Republican, speaks with reporters before going to the chamber at the Capitol in Washington, early Thursday morning, Dec. 22, 2022. Lawmakers are rushing to complete passage of a spending bill to fund the government before a midnight Friday deadline or face the prospect of a partial government shutdown going into the Christmas holiday.
