TL;DR Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to resign despite right-wing backlash over his handling of foreign aid legislation for Ukraine and Israel, as Republican hardliners grow angry at his plan. Facing threats to his speakership, Johnson insists he is not resigning and describes himself as a "wartime speaker" in challenging times. The far right's threat to Johnson's leadership has escalated, with Republican Rep. Thomas Massie co-sponsoring an effort to oust Johnson from his position. Johnson may need to rely on Democratic votes to pass his foreign aid package and save his job, as GOP divisions have derailed rules and stymied the agenda.
