"Democrats Propel Ukraine and Foreign Aid Bills Through House, Defying GOP Opposition"

The House took a critical step toward approving a long-stalled package of aid to Ukraine, Israel, and other American allies as Democrats supplied the crucial votes to push the legislation past Republican opposition, marking a significant breach of custom. The bipartisan effort, with more Democratic than Republican support, cleared the way for the aid package to be considered on the floor, indicating broad bipartisan backing for the $95.3 billion package. This vote was a major victory for President Biden's priority to fund Ukraine and a triumph against isolationist forces within the GOP, but it also imperiled Speaker Mike Johnson's position as he had to turn to Democrats to push through the plan over his party's objections.
