House Lawmakers Push for Ukraine Aid Amid Congressional Gridlock

A bipartisan group of House members introduces a bill linking Ukraine aid to border security, facing opposition from both sides.

  • House lawmakers are pressuring Speaker Mike Johnson to advance aid to Ukraine, citing national and global security concerns.
  • A bipartisan bill proposes linking military aid for Ukraine to changes in immigration policy, aiming to garner enough support in a divided Congress.
  • The bill's progress is threatened by opposition from both Republicans and Democrats, with former President Trump and House conservatives opposing any new Ukraine aid.
  • A discharge petition is being considered as a last resort to force a vote on the bill, despite its uncertain success.
  • The bill excludes humanitarian aid for Gaza, sparking criticism from Democrats and complicating bipartisan support.
