Several of you have asked, why half the Republican party has voted for Ukraine aid today, if the party is against it.
The truth is, many republicans have wanted this aid for months — even Mike Johnson was for it in the beginning.

where experts told politicians, that if they kept delaying the aid, Ukraine could lose the war.
I think that made Mike Johnson and others realize, they risked destroying their political careers by being the ones to hand the victory to Putin.
Every member of the House depend on being reelected in November, and if Ukraine was suddenly on retreat because of their clown show, many patriotic Republicans might vote for someone else.
They were scared of Trump, but this scared them even more.
