Late on Thursday night, the House passed a bill approving an additional $300 million in aid to Ukraine, with a substantial majority vote of 311-117.
Many Republicans and Democrats who voted in favor receive campaign donations from weapons manufacturers like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon, who stand to profit from war.
This decision followed a contentious week, marked by debates and disagreements predominantly within the Republican Party.
The initial proposal included the Ukraine aid as part of the Department of Defense’s fiscal 2024 funding legislation.
However, it faced resistance from America-first Republicans, leading to a temporary removal of the Ukraine assistance from a Pentagon funding bill by House GOP leaders on Wednesday.
The dissenting votes were exclusively from Republicans.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) had initially communicated his intention to exclude the $300 million Ukraine aid from the defense bill, planning a distinct vote on this matter, The Hill reports.
This decision came after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and a group of conservative members obstructed a procedural vote to progress the Pentagon measure.
However, McCarthy reversed his stance a day later, stating that the aid would remain part of the defense bill.
He believed that extracting the Ukraine aid from the State Department legislation, which also encompassed support for Kyiv, would be “too difficult” and decided to maintain the status quo.
The House subsequently approved a unified rule to govern the debate on the legislation, which included two other appropriations bills, with Greene being the sole member to vote against it.
An attempt to remove the $300 million aid by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) through an amendment was defeated in a 330-104 vote, receiving support only from Republicans, The Hill notes.
Additionally, an amendment proposed by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to ban security assistance for Ukraine was overwhelmingly rejected by House Republicans in a 339-93 vote.
