McConnell sees Wednesday U. S. Senate vote on 40 billion Ukraine aid bill
Budrigannews.com - After holding a related procedural vote on Monday, U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell stated on Sunday that he expected the Senate to vote on $40 billion in proposed aid to Ukraine on Wednesday.
McConnell told reporters on a conference call from Stockholm after visiting the Ukrainian capital on Saturday, "We expect to invoke cloture - hopefully by a significant margin - on the motion to proceed on Monday, which would set us up to approve the supplemental on Wednesday." He was referring to a vote on procedural "cloture" that limits how long a topic can be debated for another 30 hours.
