Show Notes
It’s been one month since the attack on Israel, but Washington has yet to deliver an aid package to its closest ally. The reason has to do with a different ally, in a different war: Speaker Mike Johnson has opposed continued funding for Ukraine, and wants the issue separated from aid to Israel, setting up a clash between the House and Senate.
Catie Edmondson, who covers Congress for The Times, discusses the battle within the Republican Party over whether to keep funding Ukraine.
Guest: Catie Edmondson, a congressional correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- The Republican-led House approved $14.3 billion for Israel’s war with Hamas, but no further funding for Ukraine.
- Speaker Johnson’s bill put the House on a collision course with the Senate.
