Speaker Johnson In Tight Spot Between Foreign Aid Bill & Risking His Job | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Speaker Mike Johnson is facing a tough decision - pass foreign aid and risk his job or don't pass funding and possibly risk vital US interests around the globe. A number of far-right members in the Republican Party are threatening a motion to vacate if a vote on foreign aid pushes ahead. This comes just 6 months after Kevin McCarthy, the man Johnson replaced as speaker, was voted out under similar circumstances. Member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, Mene Ukueberuwa, joins to explain why Speaker Johnson finds himself in such a difficult position. He shares why some Republicans are so against this foreign aid in the first place and why they continue to risk the stability of the party in a critical election year. Ukueberuwa discusses what this "lifeline" is that Democrats can offer Johnson and whether he foresees them "saving" the speaker. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
