In Washington, D.C., the U.S. House is preparing to vote on approval of a $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies.
Congressional leaders are staving off opposition from hard-right conservatives to near the completion of a months-long, grueling effort to renew American support for thwarting Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.
Putting his job on the line, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson relied on Democratic support this week to bring to the House floor a series of three votes on the aid packages, as well as a fourth on various other foreign policy proposals.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said late Friday night the first procedural vote could come on Saturday.
The Senate would still need to approve the House bill in votes expected to take place next week.
