House debates bills to send aid to Ukraine, Israel: Watch live

Jamie Roberts By Jamie Roberts May4,2024

The House is convening Saturday to decide whether to approve a package of legislation providing military aid for Israel, Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific region, as well as humanitarian relief to Gaza.

In an unusual bipartisan vote, Democrats joined with many Republicans to allow the bills to clear a procedural step on Friday, when a bloc of GOP conservatives opposed the bills.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has become the target of harsh criticism from a faction in his own party for what they consider an unacceptable willingness to compromise with Democrats.

Saturday’s session begins at 9 a.m. EDT, and voting is slated to start at 1 p.m. EDT.
