The deal, reached days before the government would shut down on Saturday, would still need to overcome several procedural hurdles before full Senate approval.
The short-term deal, called a continuing resolution, allocates $4.49 billion for the Defense Department's effort in Ukraine, alongside $1.65 billion in additional funding for the war-torn country, which will remain available until Sept. 30, 2025. Combined, the more-than $6 billion in funds adds up to far less than the White House's request for $20.6 billion in Ukraine funding.
On Tuesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said funding for Ukraine should be dealt in a supplemental request and not tacked onto a stopgap bill. House Republicans have all but punted on a short-term solution that would keep the government open beyond Sept. 30, choosing instead to focus on long-term appropriations bills. McCarthy has been unable to unite his conference behind a short-term plan that would both appease his hard-right flank and ensure he keeps his leadership position.
If the Senate successfully advances the stopgap measure, the bill will go through the Senate amendment process. Sen. Paul Rand , who opposes further funding for Ukraine, said he would try to slow down the process to get the bill on the Senate floor for a final vote, which could stretch beyond the midnight Saturday deadline to keep the government open.
