Johnson's Speakership in Peril as Republicans Return to Washington Divided Over Ukraine Aid
-
House Speaker Mike Johnson's job is on the line as Republicans return to Washington deeply divided, which could jeopardize passing high-stakes legislation.
-
Whether Johnson remains speaker depends on if he satisfies demands from the far-right faction or turns to Democrats for support to pass priorities like Ukraine aid.
-
Greene has threatened to oust Johnson as speaker if he puts a bill sending money to Ukraine on the House floor.
-
House Republicans are insisting any deal on Ukraine aid must also include measures to strengthen U.S. borders, but finding agreement is hugely challenging.
-
If Johnson relies on Democrats to pass Ukraine aid, it likely means bypassing House Republicans who want to block such legislation.
