Voted yea on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-04-20: Thompson voted for $61 billion in Ukraine aid, defying the majority of his party (112 Republicans voted no vs. 101 yes). He explained: 'Any assistance we provide to Ukraine right now is a whole lot cheaper than what it will be if Russia is allowed to progress and go into a NATO country. As the father of an active-duty soldier, that scares me.' His vote aligned with defense-focused donors but split from the GOP's growing isolationist wing.
