April 19, 2024: How the foreign aid package became an ‘inkblot test’ for the GOP
Release Date:
Mike Johnson is close to notching a major legislative victory that may
come at an extremely high cost: His job as speaker of the House. The
foreign aid supplemental that’s been roiling the House GOP comes up for
a procedural vote today where it’ll need Democratic support to pass —
and if that vote on the rule passes, the underlying legislation will
also need Democratic votes to get through. That’s good news for Ukraine
and Israel. But for Johnson, the picture is decidedly less clear.
Playbook co-authors Rachael Bade and Ryan Lizza game it all out.
