Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson has unveiled plans to pass foreign aid bills in the House -- with votes on bills funding Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific set to take place over the weekend. However, with a growing divide in Congress over how the U.S. should move forward to support allies overseas, will the bills garner enough support to move forward? Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) & Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) discuss the importance of the Iranian attack in the Middle East, why they both support passing foreign aid bills despite being on opposite sides of the aisle, and why our next steps will impact how other countries view America on the world stage.
