House passes government funding bill that includes nearly $14 billion in Ukraine aid.
The House passed $1.5 trillion legislation that would fund the government through September and send nearly $14 billion in humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine.
The vote was delayed by hours as Democratic leaders were forced to remove $15.6 billion in coronavirus relief funds included in an earlier version of the bill. The House ran into roadblocks Wednesday as Democratic leaders were forced to scrap $15.6 billion in coronavirus relief funds from the larger $1.5 trillion legislation. An impasse over the money delayed a planned vote by hours.
House Appropriations Committee Chair Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., introduced a separate coronavirus aid bill later Wednesday. The chamber aims to vote on the legislation next week.
