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.

Quick Glance: Trump Narrows Gap with Young Voters, Biden's Lead Shrinks - Survey Results

A new poll shows that former President Donald Trump continues to reduce his deficit with young voters compared to President Joe Biden.

In the Harvard Youth Poll released on Thursday, Biden leads among 18- to 29-year-olds with 45 percent compared to 37 percent for Trump, while 16 percent are undecided.

Biden holds a significant lead among likely voters who are non-white or female. He outperforms Trump by 47 points among college graduates and by 23 points among students.

The survey also indicates that Trump's younger supporters are much more enthusiastic about the former president than their peers who support Biden, and that Biden's approval rating among young adults is only at 31 percent.

Quick Glance: Trump's Favorite Theme: Dishonest 'Noncitizen Voting'

House Speaker Mike Johnson's 'election security' event at Mar-a-Lago will focus on legislation targeting noncitizen voting.

Despite existing bans and rare noncitizen votes, the debate aims to boost Trump's presidential candidacy.

Laws from 1996 prohibit noncitizen voting in federal and state elections, yet some municipalities in some states allow it.

Trump and allies falsely claim noncitizens vote in elections, while data shows minimal incidents. The debate serves as a political maneuver and distracts from actual election issues.
