Republican Infighting Is Getting Uglier: GOP tensions over foreign spending and Speaker Mike Johnson have ramped up in recent months.

newsweek.com/republican-infighting-gop-mike-johnson-1892701

Quick Glance: Trump defends Johnson's handling of Ukraine vote

Former President Trump defended Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for bringing additional aid for Ukraine and other national security priorities to a vote in the House.

Trump mentioned the difficulty Johnson faced due to the GOP's narrow majority, stating that it was challenging to be too tough in such a situation.

The debate over providing billions in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan divided House Republicans and led to calls from Trump allies for Johnson's removal as Speaker.

Johnson defied his conservative critics by moving forward with bills for overseas assistance, separate from a failed border security bill, emphasizing the importance of supporting democratic allies facing threats.

Quick Glance: Trump Agrees to New Restrictions on $175 Million Bond in New York Civil Fraud Case

The bond is meant to secure Trump's compliance with a $454.2 million judgment won by state Attorney General Letitia James if he does not succeed in an appeal.

James had challenged the bond this month, saying Trump still had access to the Charles Schwab account pledged to the insurer as collateral.

Justice Arthur Engoron imposed the penalty after finding that Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth and real estate assets to deceive banks and insurers into providing better terms.

Trump defended the bond in court, emphasizing that he has plenty of money to put up for it.

Quick Glance: Trump Cancels Rally Due to Storm

Donald Trump had to cancel his planned rally in North Carolina due to a storm, highlighting the challenges the former president faces balancing legal issues with his campaign against President Joe Biden.

Despite the cancellation, the audience expressed frustration but understanding, supporting Trump's strategy of incorporating his court time into anti-establishment arguments.

It remains uncertain when Trump's next campaign appearance will be, as his New York trial may extend, restricting his ability to engage with voters. North Carolina holds significance as a battleground state for both Trump and Biden in the upcoming election.

Democrats criticized the Trump-Robinson pairing ahead of the rally, citing concerns about their stance on abortion rights. Both parties are striving to appeal to voters with contrasting messages in North Carolina.
