I'm not sure why though, honestly, wouldn't a vote pass overwhelmingly? The faction of the GOP that would actually vote against funding more aid to Ukraine is too small to stop the rest of the GOP and basically every Democrat.
It's going to pass, but this puts a spotlight on the spending and I'm pretty sure GOP will campaign on this as the election season ramps up. I expect in the next few months we'll see more and more republicans start to question proxy war spending and that's going to put increasing pressure on the dems.
