Turning now to national politics, the division between Kentucky's two Republican U.S. senators continues to widen.

Senator Rand Paul took to the Senate floor today to lead a filibuster over a $90 billion foreign aid package that cleared a key procedural vote yesterday.

He said the deal is not what his constituents back home want.

If you were to take this position in my state and ask everybody in Kentucky, how many of you think that we should send $100 billion overseas and do zero for the southern border?

Not a penny.

Not one policy change.

Nothing for the Southern border.

How many people believe that?

In my state, it's close to zero.

A bipartisan bill that pairs enforcement policies on the southern border with more aid for Ukraine and Israel failed to gain traction last week.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell backed both deals, urging that it's better to, quote, equip our friends to have our shared adversary so we're less likely to have to spend American lives to defeat them.

A final vote on the latest foreign aid package is expected on Wednesday.
