In a bipartisan vote, the U.S. Senate has approved a potential ban on popular social media app TikTok and a long-awaited foreign aid package for Israel and war-torn Ukraine.

The Senate passed the $95.3 billion bill—which also includes aid for Taiwan—by a vote of 79-18. The House on Saturday approved the bill’s individual components following months of gridlock. President Joe Biden has indicated that he intends to swiftly sign the bill into law.
