White House calls on House GOP to move forward with foreign aid bills

President Biden and the White House had pointed criticism for House Republican approaches to national security bills.

The White House is urging lawmakers to act on aid for Ukraine and Israel, accusing House Republicans of playing politics with national security.

In remarks Tuesday, President Biden urged Speaker Johnson to bring the bill to the House floor.

 "Let the full House speak its mind and not allow a minority of the most extreme voices in the House to block this bill even from being voted on — even from being voted on,” Biden said.

But Speaker Johnson has not indicated a path forward in the House.

“National security begins with our own border,” Johnson said the same day.
