"Push for Discharge Petition Gains Momentum in Support of Ukraine Aid"

Democrats plan to introduce a discharge petition to force a House vote on additional support for Ukraine after Speaker Mike Johnson declined to allow one. The Senate passed a $95 billion aid package, but Johnson has refused to hold a House vote, citing concerns about illegal immigration. The discharge petition would require the support of 218 House members, including at least four Republicans. Campaign group Republicans for Ukraine is urging House GOP members to support the petition, targeting ten Republicans they deem most likely to sign.
