New Speaker Mike Johnson says the U.S. House will consider a fresh aid package for Ukraine, but he wants to link it to more money at home for the U.S. border with Mexico.
Johnson, who has been on the job a week, made the trip across the Capitol to speak privately with GOP senators to outline the agenda ahead. He also said the House plans to pass a stopgap bill to fund the government into next year to avoid a“Look, we all like the new speaker we want him to be successful,” said Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, who opposes more aid to Ukraine, afterward."And that was the tenor of the conversation.
“'We want to take up Ukraine,'" was his message, said Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who opposes more funding for the overseas war. The House's approach to emergency funds for Israel requires that the $14.5 billion be offset with spending cuts elsewhere — namely, gutting the beefed-up Internal Revenue Service funds Biden and Democrats secured last year to go after tax cheats. The Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday the House's bill would actually end up costing the federal government, $12.5 billion because of the reduction in tax revenues.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. said his impression was Johnson wants to fund government in a responsible manner. “We want to make sure that we want Ukraine to win, but we’ve got to do all these things in a responsible manner and in the right process,” he said.
