The Senate is making progress towards passing a $95 billion foreign aid bill that includes funding for Israel and Ukraine, despite opposition from former President Donald Trump. The bill received support from 18 Republicans, and lawmakers are optimistic about its passage. Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, who sits on the Armed Services Committee, states that providing aid in the form of a loan would be a mistake and mentions the importance of supporting Ukraine to ensure national security and prevent a wider conflict.
Senator Kelly also highlights the issue of border security and expresses disappointment that Senate Republicans walked away from the problem rather than finding a solution. He emphasizes the urgency of addressing the crisis at the border and the need for better policies and resources to control immigration.
