Last week, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump invited House Speaker Mike Johnson to his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida. During the meeting, Trump expressed his support for the speaker and criticized efforts by some Republicans to oust him from his position. The meeting sparked a debate among conservatives about whether Trump’s stance was beneficial for the party.
After the meeting, Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul warned that if Trump continued to support Johnson, he would risk losing the support of his core followers. Johnson, in response to the criticism, presented the House’s version of an overseas aid bill that included funding for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, along with humanitarian aid for Gaza. The bill also included a border security component. However, it faced challenges in the Senate and the need for Democratic support in the House.
