    I don’t understand why a democrat would do this. I would have expected one of the extreme right Republicans to have tried to stop the vote, not a Dem. The bill was strongly supported by the Dems.

      No it wasn’t. After all the GOP’s bullshit, the vote came down to “These Socialists chose funding Ukraine over paying hard working govt employees” and were forced to sign off on a budget that removed all support to Ukraine.
