House eyes April breakthrough on Ukraine and Israel aid
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is telling colleagues in both parties that he plans to "immediately" take up votes on foreign aid when the House returns from recess in April, the lawmakers told Axios.
A House Republican who had lunch with Johnson earlier this week told Axios the votes will happen "quick thereto" after the recess.
"We're going to have a vote ... I know that leadership is in support of a vote," said Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.).
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Mike McCaul (R-Texas), asked whether Johnson plans to hold foreign aid votes after the recess, told Axios: "That's my understanding, yes."
The backdrop: House members in both parties have been pushing hard in recent weeks for the House to vote on any foreign aid bill.

Too early for me to say I Told You So but I predicted this a while back.
And good on the dems that they “have suggested they will likely save Johnson regardless — but that an Ukraine aid vote would secure their support.”
