House Considers Dueling Discharge Petitions

“House members were presented with two competing options on Tuesday in cross-party efforts to force a vote on sending aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan,” Axios reports.

“The fracturing of these efforts could make it more difficult to bypass House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) refusal to put any bill with Ukraine funding up for a vote.”

“Republicans likely won’t sign on to House Democratic leadership’s discharge petition, and some Democrats say Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick’s (R-PA) petition is a non-starter.”
