Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) said enough House Democrats would support a Ukraine loan and protect House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) from a move to vacate if he put the bill on the floor for a vote. 

In an interview with the New Republic, Boyle said there are “reasons for cautious optimism” in getting House Republicans to vote for President Joe Biden’s $60 billion Ukraine aid bill. While Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) voted against the bill last month, he has taken up former President Donald Trump’s idea to make any aid to Ukraine a no-interest, waivable loan.
