"Congress Considers Alternative Approaches to Deliver Ukraine Aid Amid Political Disagreements"

A bipartisan group of 15 House members, led by Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, is using a "discharge petition" to push for a vote on emergency financial aid for Ukraine, which has been stalled in the House. The petition needs 218 signatures to force a floor vote, and supporters are optimistic about its prospects. House leaders have been considering various options for providing aid to Ukraine, including the possibility of a loan. The effort aims to expedite the decision on Ukraine aid and has gained support from both Republican and Democratic representatives.
