A meeting to advance Speaker Mike Johnson’s latest border security bill abruptly ended on Wednesday night without a vote on whether the measure will hit the House floor. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, expressed opposition to what he called a 'cr---y rule' that he believed was a mere show vote for funding Ukraine instead of focusing on border security.
Rep. Roy is one of three Republican foreign aid hawks on the House Rules Committee, which serves as the final barrier before legislation reaches the House floor. Conservative rebels within the House GOP conference have criticized Speaker Johnson for not linking border security measures to his $95 billion foreign aid plan.
