The Senate released on Dec. 5 a $110.5 billion supplemental package that includes assistance to Ukraine and Israel, as well as measures to secure the border.

A procedural vote surrounding the 167-page bill is expected on Dec. 6, but faces opposition from Republicans who want tougher border security measures in exchange for further support for Ukraine.
