It took months of pressure, a threat of a discharge petition and a retaliatory strike on Israel by Iran, but House Speaker Mike Johnson finally unveiled a plan for national security aid.
He announced Monday that he would bring aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan to the floor through four separate bills later this week instead of holding a vote on the Senate-passed supplemental funding bill. Johnson said votes would likely begin Friday evening so members can review the bills.
“I think the final product will be something that everybody can take confidence in because they got to vote their district and vote their conscience,” Johnson told reporters after a meeting with his conference.
