Democrats Split on Helping Johnson Amid Growing GOP Defections Over Foreign Aid.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing challenges within his own party as he pushes forward with a foreign aid proposal. Democrats are split on whether to help Johnson, with some concerned about supporting a Republican bill so close to an election. Progressive Democrats worry that saving Johnson could put them at odds with their base. Meanwhile, Republicans are divided over Johnson's aid bills, with some calling his additional border bill a "joke" and "theatrics." Johnson may need Democrats' support to pass the aid package and to fend off a potential motion to vacate his position. [Extracted from the article]
