"Democrats' Unprecedented Move Saves Ukraine and Israel Aid Bill Amid Speaker Controversy"

House Republicans relied on Democratic votes to move a plan to consider the long-stalled $95 billion foreign aid bill for Ukraine and Israel out of a key committee and onto the floor, sparking far-right anger over Speaker Mike Johnson's strategy. In an unusual move, Democrats stepped in to save the resolution in the Rules Committee, where all Democrats voted to advance the plan, highlighting the extent of Republican opposition. The convoluted process reflects the speaker's reliance on Democrats to push the aid package across the finish line, as far-right Republicans sought to block the measure due to its lack of severe border security provisions.
