"I want to thank Speaker Johnson, Leader Jeffries, and the bipartisan coalition of lawmakers in the House who voted to put our national security first," Biden said in a statement following the votes.

In February, the Senate passed a $95 billion version of the aid to fund Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

In March, Greene filed to oust Speaker Johnson from his post but has yet to force a vote on the measure.
