"House Speaker Mike Johnson's Battle for Ukraine Aid Funding"

House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing pressure to act on Ukraine aid but remains undecided on the best path forward, considering options such as including a bill to seize Russian assets for aid, structuring aid as a loan, or breaking up the aid package. He is navigating opposition from conservatives and the need for Democratic support, with some progressives signaling opposition to additional aid for Israel. Democrats are waiting for a clear plan before committing to passing additional aid for Ukraine, while also advocating for humanitarian aid to Gaza to be included.
