The House of Representatives is teeing up a vote on four individual foreign aid bills after they survived a key test vote on Friday.
Speaker Mike Johnson’s $95 billion foreign aid proposal survived a key test vote Friday morning, setting House lawmakers up to consider its four individual components sometime Saturday. Democrats bucked party norms to support the plan through a procedural hurdle known as a rule vote after conservative foreign aid skeptics defected from Republicans to try to block the plan. It passed 316-94. Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass.
Johnson’s push for foreign aid has infuriated members on the right of his House GOP conference, putting added pressure on the Louisiana Republican as he also navigates a historically slim majority. Earlier this week, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., threatened to oust Johnson if he did not step aside after a House vote on his foreign aid plan. Massie is now signed onto Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s, R-Ga.
