I did think that a distinct possibility alright. Do you know if that discharge petition is likely to get the required votes by any chance?
I really can't say. But I definitely think that the latest efforts by Johnson serve the explicit purpose of making the Discharge Petition less likely to succeed.
It might be close. Not every dem is going to support it, the more progressive ones are very upset that it contains aid for Israel, and likely feel they have a moral obligation to vote no because of that.
But there's also a number of repubs that do support it, and are willing to go against their party leadership to help our allies. So, it's a messy one.
Don't think Mike Johnson wants to help Ukraine though. This is just him stalling for time.
Yes, I think this is exactly what it is.
