"Congressional Maneuvers: Navigating Partisan Roadblocks for Israel and Ukraine Aid"

House Democrats are planning to use a discharge petition to force a vote on the $95 billion foreign aid bill, despite opposition from House Speaker Mike Johnson. The bill includes $60 billion to support Ukraine, $14 billion in military assistance to Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian aid to Gaza, and nearly $5 billion to defend Taiwan. While some Republicans have expressed reluctance, Democratic leaders believe there is enough support to pass the bill in the House, and are calling on "traditional Republicans" to step up. Johnson has criticized the bill for not including border security policy, and moderate Republicans are also hesitant to go against their leader.
