Speaker Johnson expects Schumer to join invite for Netanyahu address to Congress

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said he expects Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to sign on to a letter inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress “as quickly as possible,” suggesting an agreement could be reached as early as this week.

“I’ve not spoken to [Schumer] personally, but our staffs are communicating,” Johnson told reporters. “It seems as though he wants to sign on, so I welcome that.”
