Greene Threatens Revolt Over Ukraine Aid Tied to Border Funding
-
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene told House Speaker Mike Johnson she would oppose any aid package that ties Ukraine funding to border security.
-
Greene said she and other conservatives would "revolt" and potentially "vacate the chair" if Johnson agrees to Biden's request to link Ukraine aid and border funding.
-
Johnson said he does not want Ukraine aid tied to Israel aid or border funding, but faces pressure on his plan to fund the government.
-
Congress faces a January 19 deadline to pass appropriations bills and prevent a government shutdown.
-
Conservative lawmakers have signaled they will not support Johnson's $1.66 trillion funding package, though he touts it as the "most favorable budget agreement Republicans have achieved in over a decade."
