House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is demanding to meet with President Joe Biden for a one-on-one, in-person discussion over the Ukraine and Israel foreign aid bill that is now before the House, placing the president in the hot seat if he wants to see the bill on his desk.

A source close to Johnson told NBC News that Johnson and his staff have repeatedly asked for meetings over the last two months after the speaker’s trip to the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas. However, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) said on Tuesday that Biden “refuses” to meet with Johnson.
