"Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) delay in holding a foreign aid vote is prompting furious Democrats to redouble their pressure on Republicans to do an end-run around him – and it might work,” Axios reports.

“Moderate and hawkish Republicans are growing more restless and desperate by the hour with urgent aid to Ukraine poised to fall by the wayside until May if it isn’t passed this week.”

    It would be the quickest and most efficient way to make this happen (short of Johnson himself bringing up the Senate bill for a vote).

    This may be true but, unless you have a whole mess of Republicans who have no plans to continue a career in GOP politics, it would never work. Any Republican who helped give the Democrats an assist like this would at best never be elected again. At worst they could end up assaulted or killed by MAGA zealots.
