The top three Democratic leaders in the House announced Tuesday they will vote to block a rogue House Republican from moving to oust GOP Speaker Mike Johnson.
House Speaker Mike Johnson leaned on significant help from Democrats to advance his $95 billion aid package on the House floor Friday, setting up final passage Saturday as he faces an increasingly disgruntled right flank threatening to oust him.
