The plan to move forward with foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel could be dead on arrival in the House unless Democrats throw Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) a lifeline to overcome opposition within the Republican conference.
Johnson unveiled his long-awaited plan to provide aid to U.S. allies during a closed-door meeting on Monday, proposing to split foreign aid into four separate bills supporting Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and other defense measures. However, the plan could be killed before it even arrives on the House floor as several Republicans have already objected to the legislation due to its lack of U.S. border provisions.
