House Speaker Johnson lays out his agenda on spending, Ukraine, Israel and Biden impeachment
(Worthy News) – House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., laid out what is effectively the agenda for his first 100 days in his new role, which includes separate funding bills for Israel and Ukraine, individual appropriations bills, a temporary Continuing Resolution (CR) and an openness to the continuing effort to investigate and possibly impeach President Biden.
President Biden has proposed a $106 billion aid package for Ukraine and Israel that also includes humanitarian assistance as well as $13 billion in funding for U.S. border security.
There has been speculation as to how Johnson would handle that particular request, given that an additional federal spending bill has to be passed before Nov. 17 to avoid a government shutdown. Many Republicans have called for foreign aid to be voted on separately from regular government appropriations. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
