Moderate Republicans Threaten To Overrule Johnson on Foreign Aid If Conservatives Kill Package
‘These people are begging to be in the minority,’ Congressman Don Bacon says of his conservative colleagues.
A “slew” of House Republicans will sign on to a petition to vote on the Senate-passed foreign aid bill, one member tells the Sun. Speaker Johnson announced on Monday that he would be introducing his own aid package, though it could fail in the House due to objections from conservatives. If that bill fails, the Senate proposal is likely to receive a vote.
“It’s anarchy,” Congressman Don Bacon, a Republican retired Air Force brigadier general, says. He tells the Sun that there will be enough Republicans signing on to a discharge petition in the House for the Senate bill should Mr. Johnson’s proposal fall flat.
