"House GOP Urges Swift Rule Change for Vacating Speaker; Dems Open to Aid Plan Collaboration"

GOP members are urging Speaker Mike Johnson to change the rules regarding the motion to vacate the chair, aiming to make it harder for any single member to trigger the procedure to oust the speaker. This move is seen as crucial as Johnson needs to pass foreign aid bills and retain his position without relying on Democrats. Democrats are divided on whether to support such changes, with some emphasizing the need for bipartisan cooperation in delivering critical aid to Ukraine, while others argue that Republicans should pass their own rules. The House Rules Committee is set to consider the foreign aid bills, and the outcome will depend on Democratic support.
