House GOP's aid bills for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan advance -- with Democrats' help
Democrats took an unusual step Thursday and helped Republican leaders advance legislation to provide billions in stalled security funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, steering the measures closer toward passage this weekend.
Late Friday morning, the full House voted on the the debate rules, advancing it for final passage Saturday with broad bipartisan support, 316 to 94. Democrats ultimately delivered more votes for the package than Republicans — 165 Democrats voted in favor, while 39 opposed it, and 151 Republicans voted in favor, and 55 opposed.
After the procedural vote, House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters he was "happy the rule passed," and said if it hadn't, the House would have been forced by a discharge petition to pass the Senate version of the bill, which he referred to as a "blank check for foreign aid."
"Even though it's not the perfect legislation, it's not the legislation that we worked, (that) we would write if Republicans were in charge of the House, the Senate and the White House, this is the best possible product that we can get under these circumstances, to take care of these really important obligations."
