Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed on Wednesday that he is moving forward with his plan to introduce a series of foreign aid bills, which includes funding for Ukraine. This decision comes after facing significant pressure from hardliners within his party.
In a note addressed to members, Johnson announced that the vote on these bills will take place on Saturday evening. This move indicates a firm stance by Johnson on the issue of foreign aid, particularly in the context of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
Additionally, Johnson revealed that he will be presenting an immigration bill that closely resembles the House's HR 2. This announcement suggests a proactive approach by Johnson in addressing immigration reform, a topic that has been a point of contention and debate in recent times.
