Johnson Faces Pressure on Ukraine Aid Vote Amid Far-Right Revolt Threat
-
House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to put a separate Ukraine aid bill up for a vote when Congress returns from recess in April.
-
Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to remove Johnson as Speaker, which she could invoke if he allows a Ukraine aid vote.
-
Democrats have offered to help Johnson by voting to block Greene's effort to oust him if he brings up a reasonable Ukraine aid bill.
-
Johnson is under pressure from both parties to take up the $95 billion Senate-passed bill, but some House Republicans prefer a smaller bill with loans instead of grants.
-
Most House Republicans are unlikely to support vacating the Speakership again so soon after ousting Kevin McCarthy in January.
