The House Rules Committee approved a rule late Thursday for consideration of a $95.3 billion foreign aid package in a rare bipartisan vote that signaled solid support for the measure despite considerable GOP opposition.
The committee voted 9-3 for the rule setting terms for floor consideration of the long-stalled aid package, which the House plans to take up as four separate bills for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific region — plus a combo package of sanctions and the TikTok divestiture bill.
All Democrats on the panel voted with the GOP leadership and for the rule, which is scheduled for a vote Friday morning. Three Republicans voted against it: Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Chip Roy of Texas, and Ralph Norman of South Carolina.
