House G.O.P. Divided Over Spending Deal as Conservatives Demand Cuts and Limit on Ukraine Aid
- House conservatives reject bipartisan spending agreement, saying it does not cut spending enough
- Deal would set $1.6 trillion in total spending for fiscal year
- House Speaker Mike Johnson will likely need Democratic votes to pass deal, angering conservatives
- Some Republicans call deal a "total failure" and do not support sending more aid to Ukraine
- Congressman Burchett says U.S. has already sent enough aid to Ukraine, $114 billion could be better spent at home
