"Republicans Consider Ukraine Aid 'Innovations' and Speaker Johnson's Fate"

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) plans to move a package including aid for Ukraine with "important innovations" when the House returns from recess, aiming for bipartisan support and emphasizing the need to build consensus in a historically narrow House majority. The package may include extending a loan to Ukraine, the REPO for Ukrainians Act, and promoting natural gas exports to weaken Vladimir Putin's war effort. House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) expressed confidence in overwhelming support for Ukraine funding upon Congress's return.
