April 24, 2024 (San Diego) –"It's a good day for American, it's a good day for Europe, it's a good day for world peace, President Joe Biden said today, upon signing foreign aid and national security legislation. He added that arms shipments to Ukraine for its defense against Russia would be sent within hours.
The U.S. House of Representatives on Saturday passed the $95 billion foreign aid package that provides assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, as well as various national security priorities. The Senate approved the package yesterday, advancing it to the President for signature.
The entire San Diego Congressional Delegation voted "yea" on all three aid portions, but Congressmembers Sara Jacobs and Juan Vargas voted "nay" on the national security provisions that include a potential TikTok ban, while Congressmembers Darrel Issa, Mike Levin and Scott Peters all voted "yea."
