Speaker Johnson Stands Firm on Foreign Aid Package Despite GOP Backlash
-
House Speaker Mike Johnson says he won't resign despite anger from Republicans over his proposed foreign aid package.
-
Johnson refers to himself as a "wartime speaker" and says he'll rely on Democrat votes to pass the aid package over GOP objections.
-
The aid package would provide support for Ukraine, Israel, and Indo-Pacific allies in separate votes before being combined.
-
Some Republicans predict Johnson won't be able to hold votes on the package this week as planned due to lack of support.
-
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has filed a motion to try to oust Johnson as Speaker, though it has little support so far.
