Anti War - Over 100
House Democrats on Wednesday voted in favor of an amendment put forward by Rep.
Thomas Massie (R-KY) to cut $3.3 billion in military aid to Israel, marking a
major shift as congressional Democrats grapple with growing skepticism of the
US-Israel relationship among their voter base.
The amendment would have removed $3.3 billion in Foreign
Military Financing, a State Department program that provides foreign
governments with funding to purchase US weapons, from the 2027 National
Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act.
Massie’s amendment was defeated in a 104-314 vote,
but more Democrats supported the effort than voted against it. A total of 103
Democrats voted yes, 98 voted no, 10 voted present, and four didn’t vote.
Massie was the lone Republican to support the amendment.
