Mike\u200d Lawler expressed confidence that the House will vote on\u200c providing aid to Ukraine after the Easter recess. He revealed his discussion with Speaker Mike Johnson, stating his belief in bringing a bill to the floor.

Mike Lawler (R-NY) told CNN that he spoke to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) \u201cdirectly\u201d when asked if they had discussed a vote on Ukraine aid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to delve into the details of that conversation. But I am confident that he is going to bring a bill to the floor and that we will have a vote,\u201d Lawler said.<\/p>\n<p>Lawler said he believes there would be a vote when lawmakers return from the Easter recess.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly, this is critically important for our allies. We are the leader of the free world, and we cannot shirk on our responsibility to uphold and defend democracies across the globe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In mid-February, the Democrat-led Senate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/senate-passes-95-billion-foreign-aid-bill-despite-opposition-from-over-half-of-republican-senators\">passed<\/a> a $95 billion foreign aid bill that would allocate money for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Johnson has refused to have the House consider the legislation, suggesting that U.S. border security policy changes must be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-open-to-meeting-with-speaker-johnson-on-foreign-aid\">part of the equation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some House Republicans are pushing for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/house-republican-unveils-plan-to-force-consideration-of-bill-linking-border-security-to-foreign-aid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a different bill<\/a> that includes \u201cdefense-only\u201d funds to support Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan while also providing authorities meant to secure the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>Lawler noted that he signed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/house-republican-unveils-plan-to-force-consideration-of-bill-linking-border-security-to-foreign-aid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discharge petition<\/a> meant to force a vote on that legislation, which is estimated to cost roughly $66 billion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I am hopeful that the speaker will put the bill on the floor or an amended version of the bill on the floor, so that we can once and for all ensure that our allies have the aid and support that they need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced last week that he briefed Johnson on Ukraine\u2019s fight against Russia, which has lasted more than two years and to which the U.S. has already dedicated tens of billions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this situation, quick passage of US aid to Ukraine by Congress is vital.
