The Senate is finally set to pass Ukraine aid, with the first procedural vote Tuesday afternoon and final passage expected as soon as Tuesday night. Now that Republicans are forced to do the right thing, GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham has found a way to justify his previous monthslong blockade of the aid package.
“There’s a loan component to it. This would not have passed without President Trump,” Graham said on Fox News Sunday. “Trump has created a loan component to this package that gives us leverage down the road.” “His idea of making some of the aid a loan, not a grant, was really a turning point in the whole process,” Graham told Axios, in a desperate bid to save face and justify his craven actions on Ukraine aid.
