Long-stalled aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan is on track to pass Congress as House Democrats lined up to back Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan and provide the votes to overcome a planned blockade attempt by GOP conservatives.
The House is expected to hold a series of votes Saturday on the aid package with the Senate taking it up as soon as next week. The plan largely mirrors the $95 billion foreign aid package the Senate passed in February, with about $10 billion in economic assistance to Ukraine converted into a loan.
