Tensions escalated in the House of Representatives as a group of conservative lawmakers confronted Speaker Mike Johnson over his proposed $95 billion foreign aid plan. The plan involves separate bills for aid to Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region, sparking opposition from some Republican members.
During a heated exchange on the House floor, Rep. Derrick Van Orden engaged in a confrontational back-and-forth with Rep. Matt Gaetz, with Van Orden challenging the group of rebels to trigger a vote for Johnson's ouster. The discussion highlighted divisions within the Republican Party over the proposed foreign aid package.
