“Speaker Mike Johnson’s Israel aid strategy isn’t shaking Mitch McConnell’s alignment with Chuck Schumer on the issue,” Politico reports.
“The two Senate leaders, while they differ on critical policy details, are not wavering from their preference for a large aid package covering both Israel and Ukraine, despite the crosscurrents between the House and Senate — and within McConnell’s party.
Schumer and McConnell also met recently on the topic, according to Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), marking what he called the ‘first step’ toward discussion about what can pass the Senate.”
