House Of Representatives Holds Rare Saturday Vote On Foreign Aid

House of representatives Sen. Kathleen Riebe, D-Cottonwood Heights, questions Rep. Jeffrey Stenquist, R-Draper, on his classroom neutrality proposal during a meeting of the Education Interim Committe

The House of Representatives is currently in session on a rare Saturday to consider Speaker Mike Johnson's foreign aid plan, which has sparked controversy within the GOP. The plan includes four bills totaling roughly $95 billion, with funding allocated for Ukraine, Israel, the Indo-Pacific, and national security priorities.

One of the bills, aimed at supporting Ukraine, has faced opposition from a small group of Republican rebels, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has proposed an amendment to strip all funds from the bill. Despite this opposition, the bill is expected to pass with bipartisan support.
