Democrats Urge House Speaker to Allow Vote on $95 Billion Ukraine Aid Package Passed by Senate
• Democrats plead with House Speaker Johnson to put $95B Ukraine aid package passed by Senate up for a House vote • They argue Ukraine desperately needs weapons and ammo to fend off Russia; failure to provide aid could lead to US troops deployed • Polish PM and Sen. McConnell also called on Johnson to allow a vote on the aid package • Democrats encourage GOP House members to pressure Johnson to allow a vote or support a discharge petition to force a vote • Some progressives oppose aid over lack of Israel conditions; some Republicans oppose due to Trump’s stance on Ukraine
