Speaker Johnson’s Ukraine Package Clears Key Hurdle With Dem Help

Despite significant Republican opposition, the House successfully cleared a crucial procedural hurdle on Friday to advance foreign aid packages for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.

With Democrats aiding Speaker Mike Johnson, the bills moved forward, paving the way for final passage on Saturday.

The aid measures, totaling $95 billion, include allocations for Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific region.

Pressure mounted for aid passage following Iran’s attacks on Israel.

However, the move faced criticism from within the GOP, with Representative Paul Gosar announcing support for a motion to vacate Johnson’s speaker position.

Republicans voiced concerns over prioritizing foreign aid over domestic issues like border security, ABC News has reported.
