JUST IN: Senate Passes $1.7 Trillion Omnibus Bill in 68-29 Vote – Here are the 18 Republicans Who Voted For the Monstrosity

The Senate on Thursday passed the $1.7 trillion Omnibus spending bill in a 68-29 vote.

“The package includes $858 billion in defense spending, a nearly 10 percent increase over the previous fiscal year, and $787 billion in nondefense spending, close to an 8 percent increase. It also would provide roughly $85 billion in supplemental funding for Ukraine and disaster relief.” Roll Call reported.

The bill will now head to the House of Representatives ahead of the Friday night deadline to avert a partial government shutdown.

The 4,000+ page bill was rammed through the senate.

There is no funding for border security, however the bill contains nearly $45 billion in additional military aid for Ukraine.

The legislation contains billions of dollars in special interest earmarks and pork.

Here are the Republicans who voted for the monstrosity:

Blunt, Boozman, Capito, Collins, Cornyn, Cotton, Graham, Inhofe, McConnell, Moran, Murkowski, Portman, Romney, Rounds, Shelby, Thune, Wicker, Young.
