Johnson Backs Stopgap Funding, More Ukraine Aid But Not With Israel Ties

Speaker Johnson told Senate Republicans he supports aiding Ukraine and funding government through Jan. 15.

Johnson said he would back more Ukraine aid, but not combined with Israel funding.

Johnson supports a stop-gap bill to extend government funding after Nov. 17.

Johnson remains opposed to linking Ukraine packages with Israel defense spending.

Johnson said combining Ukraine aid with Israel, Taiwan and border funds would lose Republican support.
