BREAKING: Senate Passes $1.7 Trillion Omnibus Bill, Here Are the Republicans Who Voted Yes

The Senate on Thursday passed the $1.7 trillion Omnibus spending bill in a 68-29 vote.

“The package includes $858 billion in defense spending, a nearly 10 percent increase over the previous fiscal year, and $787 billion in nondefense spending, close to an 8 percent increase. It also would provide roughly $85 billion in supplemental funding for Ukraine and disaster relief.” Roll Call reported.

The spending bill now heads to the House of Representatives ahead of the Friday night deadline to avert a government shutdown.

From Roll Call:

The Senate overwhelmingly passed the mammoth fiscal 2023 spending package in a burst of activity on the floor Thursday after finally nailing down an amendments deal it took all day Wednesday and into the morning to hammer out.

The vote was 68-29 in support of the 4,155-page legislation. It includes the dozen annual spending bills for every federal agency, supplemental aid for the war in Ukraine and natural disaster victims, and a series of unrelated policies ranging from retirement savings incentives to driftnet fishing regulations.

“This is one of the most significant appropriations packages we have done in a very long time,” Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer said before final passage. “The range of people it helps is large and deep.”

The bill contains nearly $45 billion in aid for Ukraine and does nothing to protect the U.S. border.

Also, the monstrosity is loaded with special interest earmarks, pork, and other wasteful spending.

The Gateway Pundit noted:

Here are the Republicans who voted for the monstrosity:

Blunt, Boozman, Capito, Collins, Cornyn, Cotton, Graham, Inhofe, McConnell, Moran, Murkowski, Portman, Romney, Rounds, Shelby, Thune, Wicker, Young.

In addition, there were three senators who didn't even show up to vote all of whom were Republicans: Barasso, Burr, and Cramer

Merry Christmas, America!

“And to be clear what they voted for: $45 billion of new aid to Ukraine, no funding for border security, raises for the FBI, DOJ, and ATF, and worst of all: deliberately kneecapping the incoming House majority’s leverage over the budget for an entire year,” Greg Price noted.
