How The Ukraine Aid Bill Could Pass The House Over GOP Objections
The use of a discharge petition, a rarely used procedural move in the House, could get the foreign aid bill to the floor.
It seems enough Republicans support the bill to make a discharge move successful.Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who supports the bill, has reportedly been encouraging House members to use a discharge petition to bring the bill to the floor
The Speaker of the House has vowed to fight it, but he could avoid a losing battle by bringing the bill to floor.“We are not going to be forced into action by the Senate,” Johnson said at a press conference on Wednesday. “[The bill] does not have one word in the bill about America’s border.”
With or without Speaker Johnson’s acquiescence, I believe the bill will pass in the House and be sent to the White House for Biden’s signature.
