In the early hours of Tuesday morning, after months of negotiations and amid intense debate, the Senate voted 70-29 to pass a roughly $95 billion foreign aid package to support Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and others, ABC News reported.

Senate Republicans were fairly split on the measure, as 22 voted in favor of it while 26 voted against it -- as did two Democrats and one left-leaning independent, albeit for separate reasons -- with the remaining 46 Democrats and two independents voting for the bill, according to a CNN breakdown of the vote.

All of the efforts may have been for naught, though, as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) unmistakably signaled that the supposed "national security supplemental" package, due to its lack of any funds to bolster U.S. border security, faced tough prospects of passage in the House -- if it even gets brought up for a vote at all.

Package includes significant aid for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, others

Axios reported that the $95 billion foreign aid package includes approximately $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, $4.8 for the Indo-Pacific region -- mostly Taiwan -- and around $10 billion in humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank as well as for Ukrainian civilians displaced by the ongoing war with Russia.

The opposition to the bill among Senate Republicans was led by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and included an hours-long filibuster on Monday that delayed the final vote until the early hours of Tuesday. That blockade was centered on opposition to providing additional unaccountable funding for Ukraine's war effort as well as a desire to prioritize securing the U.S. southern border before aiding other nations.

The two Democrats and one independent who sided with the Republicans in voting against the aid package -- Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Peter Welch (D-VT), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) -- did so in objection to the inclusion of financial aid for Israel.

Trump, Speaker Johnson state reasons for opposition to foreign aid package

Democrats, President Joe Biden's White House, and much of the media sought to blame former President Donald Trump for the Republican opposition to the foreign aid package and pointed to a Truth Social post from him over the weekend in which he suggested that all future foreign aid should be in the form of loans that are eventually repaid and "not just a giveaway" of taxpayer dollars.

Yet, many of the Senate Republicans who voted against the bill -- and House Republicans who've vowed to vote similarly -- would have done so for their own reasons regardless of where Trump stood on the issue, as was made clear in a statement from Speaker Johnson on Monday while the measure was still being debated in the upper chamber of Congress.

"House Republicans were crystal clear from the very beginning of discussions that any so-called national security supplemental legislation must recognize that national security begins at our own border," Johnson said. "The House acted ten months ago to help enact transformative policy change by passing the Secure Our Border Act, and since then, including today, the Senate has failed to meet the moment."

"The Senate did the right thing last week by rejecting the Ukraine-Taiwan-Gaza-Israel-Immigration legislation due to its insufficient border provisions, and it should have gone back to the drawing board to amend the current bill to include real border security provisions that would actually help end the ongoing catastrophe," he continued. "Instead, the Senate’s foreign aid bill is silent on the most pressing issue facing our country."

"The mandate of national security supplemental legislation was to secure America’s own border before sending additional foreign aid around the world. It is what the American people demand and deserve," the speaker added. "Now, in the absence of having received any single border policy change from the Senate, the House will have to continue to work its own will on these important matters. America deserves better than the Senate’s status quo."

Pressure campaign launched against Johnson, GOP by Senate Dems and Biden White House

It is unclear how the Senate's foreign aid package will fare in the Republican-controlled House, if it even comes to the floor for a vote, but the ABC News report indicated that a pressure campaign to force Speaker Johnson's hand on the issue is already underway.

That pressure includes public statements from Democratic leaders like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and President Biden, as well as from some Senate Republican leaders who supported the measure, that are clearly intended to guilt and shame Johnson and other GOP members into falling in line with the White House agenda.

However, per a CBS News report, the White House and Senate Democrats may want to broaden the scope of that pressure campaign, as it isn't just House Republicans who oppose the bill over objections to more Ukraine aid and demands for more border security funding, as a substantial number of progressive House Democrats have also expressed their opposition to more funding for Israel's war efforts against Hamas in Gaza.
