House Speaker Johnson Faces Intense Pressure Over Ukraine Aid

As bipartisan support grows for Ukraine aid, Speaker Mike Johnson grapples with internal GOP divisions and external calls for action.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is under increasing pressure to allow a vote on Ukraine aid, facing opposition from both within his party and international leaders.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Democrats, offers support to Johnson against potential ouster if he proceeds with the Ukraine aid vote.
Public support for Ukraine aid is now divided along party lines, with a majority of Republicans viewing U.S. spending as excessive.
European parliamentary leaders join the call for Johnson to advance the Senate's $95 billion foreign aid package, including support for Ukraine.
Johnson's reluctance to bring the aid package to a vote is attributed to demands for border security measures and alignment with former President Trump's stance.
