House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said Sunday that he expects Speaker Mike Johnson to bring a Ukraine aid bill to the floor after Easter, despite the risk that it could drive support for a vote to oust him from leadership. His commitment is to put it on the floor after Easter, McCaul said Sunday during an interview on CBS Face the Nation.
Johnson, McCaul acknowledged, is in a very difficult spot. Theres a chance the Louisiana Republican could be ousted from his speakership thanks to a motion Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) filed last week to remove him from his post after he leaned on Democratic support to pass a $1.2 trillion government funding deal.
So far, Republicans arent biting at least not publicly. Conservatives werent happy with Johnsons decision to shuttle the funding the bill along with the help of Democrats, but most have indicated they wont go as far as Greene for now. And no other Republicans have publicly committed to voting to oust Johnson yet.
Ukraine aid could complicate things. Some Republican hardliners have come out against sending more assistance to the country as it struggles to beat back Russian forces after more than two years of fighting.
