"Speaker Mike Johnson's Battle Over Ukraine Aid Sparks Revolt Among Hard-Right Republicans"
House speaker Mike Johnson faces pressure from hard-right Republicans over advancing a Ukraine aid package, with threats of an intra-party revolt if he does so. Despite mounting opposition, Johnson has indicated that the House will consider an amended proposal for Ukraine funding, including potential innovations such as sending money as a loan or redirecting seized Russian assets. The speaker already has two legislative options for Ukraine funding, but faces challenges from both hard-right members and Democrats. The specter of a motion to remove Johnson as speaker looms, and his decision on Ukraine funding could have significant political and humanitarian implications.
