Last November Johnson proclaimed that the House would not consider aid to the Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, until the Democrats gave them a border proposal, and when he got even more than what he asked for, a bipartisan proposal, he turned it down, and we all know why
So what does Johnson do now if the Senate has taken out the border and presents an allies aid package to the House? Basically, he is right back where he was last October, but now he has no reason to delay. And given his lack of leadership qualities, he is in a bit of a quagmire
You can bet the phone lines between him and Maralago are burning with activity
