Episode 321: Will Johnson Be Ukraine’s Savior?


Listen Later

Today, Jess, Les, and Morgan discuss the ongoing conflicts within the U.S. House of Representatives over the $95 billion supplemental aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.  Embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson faces threats from Republican rabble-rousers to oust him if he brings Ukraine aid to vote on the House floor.  There is also speculation whether House Democrats will support the White House supplemental given the ongoing war in Gaza. 


How do these shakeups impact U.S. reputation abroad?  Should Speaker Johnson bring the Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan aid package to the floor even in the face of threats of ouster?  How does the upcoming election impact the vote on the supplemental?

 

Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.
