Biden Endorses Mike Johnson’s Foreign Aid Package

“President Joe Biden urged the House and Senate to quickly approve Speaker Mike Johnson’s multi-part plan to get aid to Israel, Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific,” Politico reports. Said Biden: “The House must pass the package this week and the Senate should quickly follow. I will sign this into law immediately to send a message to the world: We stand with our friends, and we won’t let Iran or Russia succeed.” Politico: Democrats signal they’re open to helping Johnson on foreign aid as conservatives revolt. The last thing in the world Mike Johnson wanted was Biden’s endorsement.
