Unclear (not counted)

Statements or votes that appear at odds on the same issue but are not a clear contradiction. Shown for transparency; not included in the change count.

1. Emergency aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan (H.R. 815, 2024) (unclear)

Earlier (Vote, Feb 13, 2024): voted Nay Senate roll call 48, 118th Congress

Later (Vote, Apr 23, 2024): voted Yea Senate roll call 154, 118th Congress

Why unclear: Opposite votes on different bill texts: the April package was revised by the House (split into separate bills, with other provisions added).

Statements over time

Emergency aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan (H.R. 815, 2024)

Two final-type Senate votes on the 2024 national security supplemental. The April vote was on the House-revised package (split into separate bills, with TikTok and other provisions added), so the texts differ; under our method opposite votes on different texts are not counted as a change.

Vote check

Senate roll calls (senate.gov): no opposite votes on the same text on a final-passage-type vote found; opposite-vote pairs (e.g., H.R. 815, H.R. 7776, S. 870) involved changed bill text and are not counted.
