The House has pushed a $95-billion national security aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies closer to passage.
With rare bipartisan momentum, the House pushed ahead Friday on a foreign aid package of $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and humanitarian support as a robust coalition of lawmakers helped it clear a procedural hurdle to reach final votes this weekend. Friday’s vote produced a seldom-seen outcome in the typically hyper-partisan House, with Democrats helping Republican Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan advance overwhelmingly 316-94.
Thomas Massie of Kentucky, another cosponsor, suggested others could follow before the House breaks next week to pressure Johnson to step down. Rep. Eli Crane, a hard-line conservative from Arizona, also said he was “open” to joining the move to oust Johnson. “I definitely sense that there’s a souring to Republican leadership,” he said.
