> Moreover if the bill had so much bipartisan support, why did it need to be combined in a foreign aid package to Ukraine rather than stand on its own?

You've got things reversed. The ban is what the Republicans wanted and the Ukraine support was bundled in to take advantage of that. They wanted the Tiktok ban so much they allowed the Ukraine funding (as part of the larger funding bill).


If that's the case then did Trump just lose popularity by doing this or is the idea that Trump's teflon-y nature going to keep consequences off him?

No. Heads up, he wins; tails up, blame Biden.
