Speaker Mike Johnson has been rallying behind the Ukraine aid AFP The House Rules Committee moved forward with a set of foreign aid bills on Thursday evening, with Democrats providing crucial support for the procedural vote, overcoming resistance from a small group of staunch Republicans. The committee passed the rule, which decides the parameters for discussing the legislation worth $95 billion, with a 9-3 vote, as staunch Republicans Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, and Ralph Norman stood in opposition. The approval of the vote grants the entire House the opportunity to vote on the rule and start discussions on three foreign aid bills aimed at supporting Israel, Ukraine, and partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
