"House Republicans Back Down on Border Demand, Signal Shift on Ukraine Aid"

House Republican leadership has decided to back down from their demand for addressing border security before passing further aid to support Ukraine in its war against Russia. Speaker Mike Johnson announced that bills to fund Ukraine's defense and Israel's military effort against Hamas would be brought up separately in the coming weeks. This marks a reversal of Johnson's previous stance and could lead to resistance from the far right within the party, with one member, Marjorie Taylor Greene, expressing opposition to funding Ukraine's military.
