House Speaker Declares Border Deal ‘Dead On Arrival’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators have released a highly anticipated bill that pairs border enforcement policy with wartime aid for Ukraine and Israel. It’s already running into opposition in the House. The bill is a long-shot effort to overcome skepticism from Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson. But he quickly dismissed its chance of passage. The $118 billion proposal is the best chance for President Joe Biden to resupply Ukraine with wartime aid. But Johnson said the bill won’t succeed in the House.
