US House’s Ukraine War Aid Vote Is Likely Weeks or More Away
- Speaker still trying to soften GOP opposition, officials say
- Johnson had said Ukraine aid vote would come ‘right away’
A US House vote on Ukraine aid isn’t likely until at least mid-April and possibly later with Speaker Mike Johnson still searching for ways to soften opposition from Republican hardliners, multiple party leadership officials said.
Johnson raised expectations for quick action in a Fox News interview Sunday saying the House would move forward with Ukraine assistance “right away” when lawmakers return next week from their two-week Easter break.
