Summary
Sen. Michael Bennett (D-Colo.) on Sunday expressed optimism that the House could move past its policy divisions. The House passed a long-sought foreign aid bill this weekend. The package — passed in four separate votes — includes about $61 billion for Ukraine. Bennett said he is hopeful the passage marks the end of the divisions that have held up legislation. It follows months of stalemate amid sharp divisions between lawmakers over where and how U.S. funding is allocated. “These divisions have been killing us and they’ve been counterproductive to our role in the world,” he said. Mike Johnson: “The week before that, you had FIDA which was another bipartisan piece of legislation that was extremely important to get done.” “I think we’re going to see a lot of progress,” Johnson says. “We’ve got a lot more work to do.’
