"Schumer Urges Action on Foreign Aid Bill After Navalny's Death and Ukrainian Withdrawal"

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is pressuring House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans to pass a foreign aid bill following the death of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, linking Ukraine's withdrawal from a key town to Congress' failure to provide further aid. The Senate recently passed a $95 billion foreign aid bill, including significant support for Ukraine, but Johnson has indicated he won't bring the bill to the floor. President Biden and Ukrainian President Zelensky have criticized the delay in passing the bill, emphasizing the urgency of supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

"Congressional Maneuvers: Navigating Partisan Roadblocks for Israel and Ukraine Aid"

House Democrats are planning to use a discharge petition to force a vote on the $95 billion foreign aid bill, despite opposition from House Speaker Mike Johnson. The bill includes $60 billion to support Ukraine, $14 billion in military assistance to Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian aid to Gaza, and nearly $5 billion to defend Taiwan. While some Republicans have expressed reluctance, Democratic leaders believe there is enough support to pass the bill in the House, and are calling on "traditional Republicans" to step up. Johnson has criticized the bill for not including border security policy, and moderate Republicans are also hesitant to go against their leader.

Biden urged Speaker Mike Johnson to bring the $95bn national security package to the House floor immediately, emphasizing its support for Ukraine, Israel, and allies in the Pacific. The bill faces uncertain prospects in the House, where Trump-aligned Republicans hold sway.

Senate GOP prioritizes foreign aid bill over border policies

Senate Republicans are moving towards advancing a foreign aid bill without including controversial border policies, signaling a potential break from former President Donald Trump's approach to foreign assistance. The decision comes as the GOP seeks to prioritize traditional foreign aid programs over immigration-related measures, with the legislation likely to move forward without provisions related to the southern border.
