Johnson likely forced to get Dem help on foreign aid plan as Republicans decry lack of border measures
Fox News
Speaker Mike Johnson is facing opposition to his foreign aid plan from Republicans calling for border security measures.
A lack of any border security measures, however, has prompted even reliable leadership allies to be wary of letting the bills move forward. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives. Previous digital bylines seen at Daily Mail and CBS News.
"I’m thinking of voting against the rule," Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., told Fox News Digital. "Unless we vote to send something to the Senate the same day that addresses the border, requires the president to take action on his executive orders. Or we can put something with the underlying legislation that would actually do a couple of things – we can stop money from going to NGOs that are transporting individuals, we can stop Homeland Security from releasing criminals into the interior."
