Speaker Mike Johnson is negotiating with the White House, preparing for the treacherous task of advancing aid money for Ukraine and Israel through the House.
President Joe Biden, left, in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, Aug. 28, 2023. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson , R-La., waits to raise the gavel to formally conclude a joint meeting of Congress, Thursday, April 11, 2024, at the Capitol in Washington. House Speaker Mike Johnson is negotiating with the White House as he prepares for the treacherous task of advancing wartime funding for Ukraine and Israel through the House , a top House Republican said Thursday.
The Republican speaker is set to travel to the former president’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on Friday to meet with Trump and has been consulting him in recent weeks on the Ukraine funding to gain his support — or at least prevent him from openly opposing the package. Johnson has also been pushing for the Biden administration to lift a pause on approvals for Liquefied Natural Gas exports. At times, he has also demanded policy changes at the U.S. border with Mexico.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Thursday that the “only path forward” for the House was a vote on the Senate's national security package. He also suggested that Democrats would help Johnson hold onto the speaker's gavel if he did so.
