For Democrats, Mike Johnson's idea for an Israel stand-alone aid bill is taking a backseat as the conference calls on Republicans for Ukraine support.
After Schumer called for new elections in the Jewish state, Johnson said he is considering bringing another clean, stand-alone bill to the House floor despite aone in February. Considering he would likely bring the bill up under suspension, it would require a two-thirds majority and all but assures that the measure would require Democratic support.
“On Ukraine, time isn’t only running out, time has run out,” McGovern added. “So, that fact that we’re going home for two weeks and not doing anything on Ukraine really is unconscionable.”on Johnson to bring the Senate’s supplemental bill to the floor, which House GOP leaders have previously declared as dead on arrival due to its lack of border security measures.
“It’s so irresponsible,” Balint added. “This is a win for Putin every single day that they go by and sit on their hands. It’s maddening. So, that is where the caucus is, right now.” On Wednesday, Johnson confirmed to reporters that House Republicans are considering inviting Netanyahu to speak before Congress, another response to Schumer’s remarks and a sign the GOP conference is focused more on aiding Israel than other foreign allies at this time.
