This is the best summary I could come up with:
House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced a path forward on aid to Ukraine and Israel after months of delay because of GOP divisions.
“That probably means that if we get bill text sometime early tomorrow — that’s the hope, that’s the ambition — then that probably puts us into perhaps Friday evening [for votes],” he said.
Oklahoma Rep. Kevin Hern, who is the chair of the Republican Study Committee, told reporters he thinks Johnson is “doing the right thing.”
Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, told reporters he thinks it’s a “good strategy” to separate the package into four distinct bills.
Hanging over Johnson’s head is the threat of a move to oust him as speaker from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.
Greene had previously indicated that if Johnson were to bring up a vote on aid to Ukraine alone, which she vehemently opposes, she would move forward on her motion to vacate.
