Biden Seeks Over $100 Billion in Emergency Aid for Ukraine, Israel, Border, and Humanitarian Needs

The Biden administration requested $106 billion in emergency aid from Congress for Israel, Ukraine, the southern U.S. border, and other humanitarian needs.

The request includes $61.4 billion for Ukraine, including funds to provide military equipment and support. It also asks for $14.3 billion for Israel and $9.15 billion in humanitarian aid.

The White House is tying Ukraine aid to Israel aid, daring Republicans who are skeptical of Ukraine aid to vote against support for Israel.

The request includes $13.6 billion to address migration at the southern border, including funds for border operations, agents, shelters, and countering fentanyl.

The Senate is expected to move quickly on a funding bill, but House passage depends on who becomes Speaker, as some Republicans vow to oppose Ukraine aid.
