"Pressure Mounts on House Speaker to Bring Ukraine Aid Bill to Vote"

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is pressuring GOP leaders to pass Ukraine aid by the end of next week, warning that a Russian victory in Ukraine could put American lives at risk. Speaker Mike Johnson, while supportive of more Ukraine aid, opposes the Senate-passed foreign aid package and demands that it be accompanied by measures to limit migration on the southern border. Pressure is mounting on Johnson to move some form of Ukraine aid before November’s elections, with prominent GOP committee heads stressing the importance of providing more military help to Kyiv amid recent Russian advances.
