"Republican Mike Johnson Defies Calls for Resignation Amid Growing Anger Over Foreign Aid"
House speaker Mike Johnson refuses to resign despite growing Republican anger over his proposed US aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and other allies. He plans to move forward with the aid package, relying on Democrats to help pass it over objections from his weakened majority. Johnson's approach involves separate votes for each section of the aid package and includes various Republican-preferred national security priorities. Some Republicans are unhappy with the plan and there is a threat of ouster from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, but Johnson remains determined to push ahead.
