President Biden is set to meet with the top four leaders in Congress today to discuss aid to Ukraine. The Senate has passed a bill to provide support, but it is currently blocked in the House by Republican Senator Mike Johnson, who has refused to bring it to a vote. President Biden is hoping to persuade Senator Johnson to reconsider his stance.
One of the key issues at hand is the looming deadline for a partial government shutdown at the end of the week. While the Senate has successfully passed bipartisan bills on various topics such as border security and Ukraine aid, the House Speaker has not taken action on these measures.
