Johnson's new bill targeting a signature Biden achievement is causing rifts among both Democrats and Republicans.
The first piece of legislation unveiled by House Speaker Mike Johnson since he took the gavel has ruffled congressional feathers, leaving both Democrats and Republicans at odds over the bill.Johnson kicked off his first full week as speaker this week with a firmly partisan approach to Israel funding that suggests the Louisiana Republican could be unflinching as a leader.House Republicans released a new bill on Monday offsetting $14.
'But frustration from Democrats does not necessarily mean Johnson won't get any votes on his package. Staunch Israel supporters, like Representative Jared Moskowitz of Florida, are steadfast in their pro-Israel positions and unwilling to fall into Johnson's 'stupid trap' of getting Democrats to vote against Israel funding.'At the end of the day, this is not going to be the policy of the United States anyway,' Moskowitz told Axios.
