Quick Glance: Focus on Support for Israel and Ukraine by Mike Johnson
- House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.
- Johnson faces the challenge of juggling the Republican Party's divided support for Kyiv's defense while feeling the pressure to pass a comprehensive aid package for U.S. allies.
- In his quest to find ways to promote funding for Ukraine, Johnson is engaging in discussions with the White House and former president Donald Trump. The divisive dynamic within the party and the urgency of the situation in Ukraine present a significant challenge for Johnson.
- Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.

- George Santos was expelled from office in December by a rare two-thirds majority of his colleagues, after a House Ethics Committee report found that he had brazenly stolen from his campaign and used the money to buy Botox and luxury goods.
