"Johnson's High-Stakes Push for Ukraine Aid Sparks GOP Rebellion"

House Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to send aid to Ukraine faces challenges as he needs Democratic support to push it through, prompting hard-line Republicans to threaten to oust him. The plan involves passing five bills, including aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Indo-Pacific allies, as well as addressing Republican demands to strengthen the southern U.S. border. Democrats are discussing how they could help Republicans pass the foreign aid bills, which remain a priority for them and President Biden, who supports the plan. The bill closely mirrors a Senate package and, if passed, would be sent to the Senate for a vote. Johnson's plan has caused further turmoil within the already divided Republican conference, with some members threatening to stymie the bills.
