Johnson Needs Democrats on Ukraine, Handing Them Power to Shape Aid Plan. We've known this for months. Minoriity Speaker Hakeem Jeffries has suggested the Ds would help but it had to be the bill they could support. They would save Johnson's ass again. #UkraineAid #MoscowMikeJohnson

Given Republicans’ tiny margin of control, Mr. Johnson will need their support on the aid itself. But before he even gets to that, he will need their votes on a procedural motion, known as a rule, to even bring the legislation to the floor — an unconventional expectation of the minority party.

The dynamic also increases the likelihood that Mr. Johnson will need Democrats again — to save his precarious speakership, now under threat from two members of his party, Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

We know the Ds would have gotten this done right after the Senate bill passed. The delay has always been the repuplicants. I can't wait for the day that we have Speaker Hakeem Jeffries in charge of the House. So say we all. #gopcannotgovern
