"House Democrats Push for Floor Vote on Foreign Aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan"

House Democrats are attempting to force a floor vote on a bipartisan Senate bill providing aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan using a discharge petition, as Republican leaders have resisted taking up the legislation. The Democrats' effort faces competition from a smaller bipartisan foreign aid bill introduced by a Republican, with both sides seeking signatures for their respective petitions. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to allow a vote on the Senate's foreign aid bill in the lower chamber.
