House Democrats helped House Speaker Mike Johnson advance a foreign aid package on Friday, a rare move to overcome opposition from some House Republicans. The 316-94 vote opened debate on the $95 billion proposal, which includes four bills that would provide assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan over the coming years. This kind of procedural “rule vote” is usually undertaken solely by the majority party, many outlets reported, but a group of House Republicans opposed it.
More than 160 House Democrats voted with the GOP to advance the four-part measure, which includes aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan along with a fourth bill containing sanctions against Russia and Iran and a provision requiring the social media company TikTok to divest from China.
