The vote on aid to Ukraine in the House of Representatives may not take place this week, as planned, writes the Associated Press with reference to Republicans.
The agency points out that the text of draft laws on aid, in particular regarding Ukraine, is not yet available, and judging by ongoing consultations, it has not yet been agreed upon.
Some predicted Johnson would not be able to hold a vote on the package this week as planned.
And some Republicans "were furious" that Johnson was ready to vote on aid to Ukraine separately from the issue of the border with Mexico.
Thus, a member of the House of Representatives, Thomas Massey, publicly called on the speaker to resign.
Johnson said lawmakers faced a "dual choice": vote on his aid bill for Ukraine separately, or Democrats would try to push through their Senate-passed bill on allocating money to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and the border, which would "leave behind additional Republican priorities." .
But Johnson later received support from six Republican committee chairs in the House of Representatives, who supported his plan to split aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan into several bills.
