Republican civil war: Mike Johnson 'definitely not going to be speaker next Congress'

Republican civil war: Mike Johnson 'definitely not going to be speaker next Congress'

The fate of US aid to Ukraine hung in the balance on Tuesday as House Speaker Mike Johnson faced potential revolt from within his Republican party over his complex plan to renew the long-delayed funding along with fresh assistance for Israel.

Far-right firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene, a close ally of Donald Trump who opposes any compromise with Democrats, said on Monday that she was undecided on triggering the so-called motion to vacate, but stated that Johnson's days were numbered. In the meantime, it was unclear if the aid bills - yet to be released as of Tuesday afternoon - would even pass the House or Democratic-controlled Senate.

Republican Representative from Georgia Marjorie Taylor Greene shouts at US President Joe Biden as he delivers his third State of the Union address in the House Chamber of the US Capitol in Washington, DC. Previously the White House has fought for the aid to be bundled together in the same package like the one the Senate approved, but it appeared to soften its position on Tuesday.
