McConnell was one of 18 Senate Republicans who helped to pass an $1.7 trillion Omnibus Spending Bill that included $45 billion in Ukraine aid. The passage of the omnibus spending bill means that America has granted over $110 billion in aid to help the country’s battle with Russia.

The 18 Senate Republicans are:

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) Sen. John Boozman (R-AR) Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) Sen. John Thune (R-SD) Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) Sen. Todd Young (R-IN)

The Omnibus spending bill does more than grant money. aid Ukraine, but also designsates a portion of the national capital the Ukrainian Independence Park.

Before the vote on the Omnibus, former President Donald Trump urged Republicans not to vote for the enormous bill.

“Every single Republican should vote no on the ludicrous, unacceptable $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill. It’s a disaster for our country. And it also happens to be a disaster for the Republican Party because they can stop it,” Trump explained it in a video posted on Truth Social.
