GOP Focuses on Ukraine Aid and Border Security, Says Speaker Mike Johnson

New Speaker Mike Johnson informed Republican senators that a Ukraine aid package, coupled with U.S. border security measures, will be prioritized in the House after the passage of the $14.5 billion Israel aid package. Johnson also mentioned plans to pass a stopgap bill to fund the government into next year to avoid a federal shutdown. While some senators expressed support for the new speaker, there were differing opinions on additional aid to Ukraine. Johnson's position puts him at odds with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who aims to approve aid for Israel and Ukraine together, along with funding for U.S. border security.
