Quick Glance: Senate Passes $95 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan
- The Senate has passed a $95 billion aid package for war assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden after months of delays and contentious debates over U.S. involvement in foreign wars.
- The legislation also includes $26 billion for wartime assistance to Israel and humanitarian relief for the citizens of Gaza, along with $8 billion to counter Chinese threats in Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific.
- Senate Republicans and House Republicans collaborated to secure the aid for Ukraine and Israel, emphasizing the potential dire consequences if Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression goes unchecked.
- There was broad congressional support for the aid package, but leaders had to navigate strong opposition from conservatives questioning U.S. involvement in foreign wars and focusing on issues like migration at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Quick Glance: Summer Lee Secures Key Victory in Pennsylvania Primary
- Pennsylvania congresswoman Summer Lee successfully navigated a primary challenge on Tuesday, securing progressives one of their most crucial wins of this election cycle while preparing for an influx of pro-Israel funding targeting candidates supportive of a ceasefire.
- During the primaries, Lee emerged victorious against local council member Bhavini Patel, who had raised concerns about the stance of the progressive “Squad” member on the Gaza ceasefire.
- The resonance of this argument was evident among many of Lee’s supporters and local Democratic figures. The Allegheny County Democratic party formally endorsed Lee in February, marking their support for her for the first time after having backed her opponent in the 2022 primaries.
- Despite the pro-Israel lobby staying out of the picture, a Super Pac intervened in Lee’s primary to bolster Patel’s campaign. The Moderate Pac, with a mission to back centrist Democrats and significant funding from Republican megadonor Jeffrey Yass, allocated over $600,000 to support Patel.
