Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, spoke with Republican senators on Wednesday, saying that the House will prepare its draft to support Ukraine, but in a significantly different form than the one already approved by the Senate.

Senator Kevin Cramer also said that Mike Johnson clearly expressed his intention to help Ukraine.

“He was pretty clear about it,”

Sounds positive.

    It might be close. Not every dem is going to support it, the more progressive ones are very upset that it contains aid for Israel, and likely feel they have a moral obligation to vote no because of that.

    But there’s also a number of repubs that do support it, and are willing to go against their party leadership to help our allies. So, it’s a messy one.

    Don’t think Mike Johnson wants to help Ukraine though. This is just him stalling for time.

      Yes, I think this is exactly what it is.
