Speaker Johnson's Turbulent Week: Expulsion Vote, Doomed Aid Bill, Fundraising Gaffe
House Speaker Mike Johnson's first full week in office has been eventful, with highlights including an expulsion vote against Rep. George Santos, a failed Israel aid package, and a fundraising gaffe. The House passed a $14.3 billion aid package for Israel, but Senate Democrats' objections and President Biden's threat to veto the bill make its chances of success slim. Johnson also expressed support for foreign aid to Ukraine, despite opposition from some far-right Republicans. He plans to push for a temporary continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown, but faces challenges in securing long-term funding. Additionally, Johnson's reelection campaign sent out a fundraising email with a typo, causing confusion among donors.
