Congressman Dan Kildee recently shared his insights on the expectations from House Speaker Mike Johnson regarding Ukraine aid. Kildee expressed uncertainty about Speaker Johnson's agenda, citing previous shifts in priorities such as connecting Ukraine aid to border security.
Kildee highlighted a perceived challenge within the Republican conference, suggesting the presence of a 'pro-Putin caucus' that could hinder progress on critical issues like national security, border protection, and support for Ukraine. He emphasized the need for Speaker Johnson to recognize a 'functional majority' that prioritizes these concerns, comprising a significant number of Democrats and a substantial portion of Republicans.
