Beginning at 1pm ET, the Senate will vote on a bill authorizing foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel, and US allies, which includes forcing ByteDance to divest from TikTok within a year or face a ban.
Senator Bernie Sanders plans to offer amendments to cut funding for Israel's offensive operations due to humanitarian concerns, while Republicans may propose amendments related to Ukraine.
The bill's journey started in October when Joe Biden linked funding for Ukraine's defense and aid for Israel, facing obstacles over funding Ukraine and demands for strict border security.
House Speaker Mike Johnson's decision to allow a vote on the aid, despite not getting desired immigration changes, led to significant Republican support and a foreign policy win for Biden and Ukraine's backers.
