Preacher of the House Mike Johnson said on Thursday that he would bring a Ukraine assistance bill to the floor for a vote, which he expects will pass with Democratic support, a line in the sand for some far-right zealots that led to the ouster of his predecessor, Politico reports.
Johnson has said the Ukraine aid bill will be brought to a vote after the federal government funding bills get passed, but negotiations for funding the Department of Homeland Security have reportedly disintegrated, pushing Congressional leaders to consider a year-long stopgap funding measure that would effectively fund operations at the same level for the next twelve months, through the end of the fiscal year.
