Republicans and Democrats voted together to approve a rule to debate foreign aid bills, in what has been described as an "incredibly rare" move.

The House Rules Committee approved a rule late Thursday to move a long-debated $95.3 billion foreign aid package to the floor for a vote.

The rule was passed by nine votes to three, with all the dissent coming from Republicans.
