The Republican-led Senate voted decisively to punish Moscow for interfering in the 2016 election by approving a wide-ranging sanctions package that targets key sectors of Russia's economy and individuals who carried out cyber attacks.
Senators on Wednesday passed the bipartisan sanctions legislation 97-2, underscoring broad support among Republicans and Democrats for rebuking Russia after U.S. intelligence agencies determined Moscow had deliberately interfered in the presidential campaign. Lawmakers who backed the measure also cited Russia's aggression in Syria and Ukraine.

This legislation won't go anywhere. If the House passes it it will get vetoed, and Congress won't have the spine to override a veto.

The bill was passed with an easily veto proof majority. If Donald was a strong leader he might be able to shift the sentiment into his favor, but I don't think he is enough of a leader to accomplish that.
