Mike Rounds
Mike Rounds (R), incumbent U.S. Senator and member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, is a consistent supporter of U.S. weapons and security assistance to Israel. Across four rounds of Senate votes on joint resolutions of disapproval that would have blocked U.S. arms sales to the government of Israel, Rounds voted every time against the motions to discharge/block the sales (all 9 recorded votes: Nov 20, 2024 votes 292/293/294; Apr 3, 2025 votes 165/166; Jul 30, 2025 votes 454/455; Apr 15, 2026 votes 80/81), keeping the sales on track. He has also co-led bipartisan letters urging full funding of U.S.-Israel missile-defense programs (Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow) and issued statements standing with Israel against Iran and Hamas. No public support for conditioning aid, an arms embargo, or UNRWA/boycott positions was found.
