Republican Discharge Petition Targets Ukraine Aid Vote

Several Republicans are considering signing a discharge petition to pressure Speaker Mike Johnson into bringing a $95 billion foreign aid bill, including $60 billion for Ukraine, to a vote in the House. Johnson has previously dismissed the Senate deal as "dead on arrival" and has refused to bring it to a vote. The discharge petition would require 218 signatures to force a vote in the House, and while some Republicans are reportedly willing to support it, it remains unclear if there will be enough support. The move could potentially undermine Johnson and represents a significant break from party leadership.
