Divisions within the House Republican conference could threaten both the future of the package and Mike Johnson's speakership.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., speaks during a Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony on April 10.House Speaker Mike Johnson is moving forward with a plan to vote on separate bills to provide assistance to Ukraine, Israel and U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific, despite growing criticism from within his conference and thePresident Biden said he strongly supports the package of aid bills, and urged the House to pass the package this week.
The four bills related to foreign threats are being considered under one procedural"rule," while the border bill will be considered under its own. Rep. Ralph Norman, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and the House Rules Committee, said that the arrangement would mean the border bill was"set up to fail."
Norman suggested he would oppose the rule for the larger package if it did not include the border security bill. Republican Reps. Chip Roy of Texas and Thomas Massie of Kentucky also sit on the Rules Committee and have spoken out against the plan. The three met with Speaker Johnson Wednesday to discuss their concerns.Three Republican"No's" in committee could defeat the motion before it even comes to the floor.
