Republicans overwhelmingly opposed the measure. Some wanted to extend government funding into January when, based on the results of the midterm elections, it\u2019s possible they\u2019ll have more leverage over setting federal spending for the full fiscal year. Others argued the measure needed to do more to address border security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats said passing the bill was important to helping Ukraine as well as victims of recent natural disasters in the U.S., <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/hurricane-ian-impact-path-d4db93bcac5af1134e31a3b7f2f694f0\">including Hurricane Ian<\/a>, as it provides a Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster fund with a year\u2019s worth of money up front rather than for two-and-a-half months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTurn on the news. Look <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/hurricanes-florida-fort-myers-climate-and-environment-hurricane-ian-d88814414fc15b1b91158026fd4eb9a6\">what\u2019s happening in Florida<\/a> right now. Look at <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/floods-storms-hurricanes-bermuda-puerto-rico-e4066589502b4b2a0a441308216c7ed4\">what happened to Puerto Rico<\/a>. Look at <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/floods-storms-weather-patterns-typhoons-438fe387b3e5c8047bf052fb13756d8b\">what\u2019s happening in Alaska<\/a>. I mean, people need help,\u201d said Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass. \u201cAnd look at what\u2019s happening in Ukraine. Do we support helping preserve democracy in Ukraine or not? That\u2019s what\u2019s at stake here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Republicans complained the bill brought to the floor was not subject to bipartisan negotiations in the House and didn\u2019t reflect their priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know we have a crisis on the southern border. You can turn on the television every night. You can look at the fentanyl pouring into the country, You can see the tragedy of human trafficking. Is there anything in this bill that asks us to do anything different, anything new?\u201d said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla. \u201cNo, you just ask, \u2018please allow us to continue the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/texas-border-patrols-us-customs-and-protection-7664c5c25eae908a961e0d3da5c5fcfa\">current state of affairs on the southern border<\/a>.\u2019 That is a travesty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, support for the bill was unanimous among Democratic lawmakers. Only 10 Republican lawmakers joined them in voting yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later Friday, former President Donald Trump responded to the bill\u2019s passage with a racist message on his social media platform attacking Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and his Asian American wife, who also served in Trump\u2019s administration as a Cabinet secretary. Trump ominously wrote that McConnell has a \u201cdeath wish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill finances the federal government through Dec. 16 and buys lawmakers more time to agree on legislation setting spending levels for the 2023 fiscal year. The bill generally keeps spending at current levels, though it does provide more than $12.3 billion in Ukraine-related aid. The money will go to provide training, equipment and logistics support for the Ukraine military, help Ukraine\u2019s government provide basic services to its citizens and replenish U.S. weapons systems and munitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis contribution ensures we continue upholding our moral responsibility to support the people of Ukraine in the face of a vicious invasion that continues to demand decisive action by us,\u201d said Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the Democratic chair of the House Appropriations Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disaster assistance was also attached to the stopgap bill, including $2.5 billion to help <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/wildfires-politics-fires-santa-fe-forests-d02a0a5f63f0f03b75450afc6048aa57\">New Mexico communities recover from the Hermit\u2019s Peak\/Calf Canyon Fire<\/a>, the largest wildfire in the state\u2019s history; $2 billion for a block grant program that aids the economic recovery of communities impacted by recent disasters; and <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/floods-mississippi-tate-reeves-jackson-climate-and-environment-3cc65dd4bdc83e8c48a7aeee8b76bd8d\">$20 million for water and wastewater infrastructure improvements previously authorized for Jackson, Mississippi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe cannot leave communities behind that are still picking up the pieces from disastrous floods, wildfires and hurricane, and even basic water system failures,\u201d said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill would provide an additional $1 billion for a program that helps low-income households heat their homes. And it would transfer $3 billion from a Pentagon aid program to the State Department for <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/afghanistan-russia-ukraine-united-states-immigration-477d06070766db3800efd03528c845ec\">continued Afghan resettlement operations.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lawmakers also included a reauthorization of the Food and Drug Administration\u2019s user fee agreements for five years, which ensures the agency can continue critical product safety reviews and won\u2019t need to issue pink slips for thousands of employees working on drug and medical device applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing missing from the bill is the billions of dollars in additional funding that Biden sought to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-biden-covid-health-government-and-politics-d595f46db6a300b31a8ae8e11d3da3f8\">aid the response to COVID-19 and monkeypox<\/a>. Republicans criticized the health spending as unnecessary. The White House said the money would have been used to accelerate the research and development of vaccines and therapeutics, prepare for future COVID variants and support the global response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bill finances the federal government through Dec. 16 and buys lawmakers more time to agree on legislation setting spending levels for
