"House Democrats Propel Ukraine and Israel Aid Bills, Shift Support in Speaker Ousting"
TL;DR Summary
The House advanced a key foreign aid package in a bipartisan vote, with more Democrats than Republicans supporting the measure, setting up a final vote as soon as Saturday. The bills include aid for Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region, and have sparked intense pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson from right-wing members of the GOP, who oppose additional aid to Ukraine. The GOP-led House Rules Committee also used Democratic support to advance the bills, and Johnson will need significant Democratic support to overcome procedural hurdles due to growing opposition from hardliners upset about border security provisions.
