As the House tries a unique approach to pass foreign aid, Republican senators just want to see an aid bill — preferably one that can actually pass an upper chamber controlled by Democrats.
“I think at some point, we’ve got to finish this job — time’s a-wasting,” Minority Whip John Thune told NOTUS, warning against the House and Senate trading bills back and forth.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell continues to push for the House to vote on the national security supplemental passed by the Senate months ago, despite Speaker Mike Johnson’s new plan for four individual bills that could be packaged together for the Senate’s consideration. In effect, it would recreate the $95 billion supplemental, although the specifics have not yet been announced.
