House Speaker Johnson Plans Separate Votes to Advance Foreign Aid Amidst GOP Infighting

Speaker Mike Johnson proposes separate votes on aid for Israel and Ukraine to navigate Republican opposition and threats to his leadership.

Speaker Mike Johnson announces a strategy to hold separate votes on foreign aid packages to address Republican divisions and move stalled aid forward.
The plan includes individual votes for aid to Israel, Ukraine, and other components, aimed at overcoming GOP resistance and threats to Johnson's position.
Despite Democratic skepticism, the plan could allow progressive Democrats to oppose Israel aid while hard-right Republicans vote against Ukraine aid.
Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie threaten Johnson's leadership, demanding his resignation if more Ukraine aid is passed.
The outcome of the separate votes strategy remains uncertain as Johnson faces significant opposition within his own party and relies on Democratic support.
