Speaker Johnson Caught Between Trump and a Hard Place on Ukraine Aid
"Not that very long ago, there was a clear path forward for congressional Republicans on the fraught issue of aid to Ukraine, which is supported strongly by old-school conservative Republicans (including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell) and opposed to one degree or another by MAGA folk. The White House had proposed a foreign aid package that included assistance for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The latter two items had strong bipartisan support, and McConnell suggested adding in a nativist-flavored border-security measure to secure support among House Republicans. After much backpedaling, congressional Democrats accepted a deal that gave Republicans most of what they wanted in border policy changes. But then the whole package was torpedoed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, who was under steady pressure from Donald Trump to avoid taking away an important campaign issue."
