...than voted for foreign aid for Ukraine, with 112 republicans voting against the aid.
The House approved assistance to Israel 366 to 58 and to Taiwan 385 to 34.
The legislation includes $60 billion for Kyiv; $26 billion for Israel and humanitarian aid for civilians in conflict zones, including Gaza; and $8 billion for the Indo-Pacific region. Much of the funding for Ukraine is earmarked to replenish U.S. stockpiles after shipping supplies to Kyiv.
It also contained a measure to help pave the way to selling off frozen Russian sovereign assets to help fund the Ukrainian war effort, and a new round of sanctions on Iran. The Senate is expected to pass the legislation as early as Tuesday and send it to President Biden’s desk, capping its tortured journey through Congress.Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced amendments that were literally Russian propaganda.
Literally.
Democrats waved small Ukrainian flags on the House floor as the vote for Ukraine passed. Hard-right Republicans jeered. Greene repeatedly gave a 'thumbs down' sign.
In the end, House Speaker Johnson relied on Democrats to push the measure for Ukraine through so kudos to him for finally stepping up.
He should consider bringing up the southern border vote before Trump gives the 'ok' to have him removed.
When asked last Tuesday if the Speaker's chair should be vacated, Trump said "Well, we'll see what happens with that."
Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
