Just a few days into his new role, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled a stand-alone bill to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel.

Last week, President Biden requested nearly $106 billion that would also include aid, not just for Israel, but for Ukraine, other regions like the Indo-Pacific and for U.S. border security.

How will members of Congress from both major political parties respond?

Joining the discussion: 

• Jadan Horyn is a Political Commentator and Editor-in-Chief of Soigné.
• Rina Shah is the Founder of Rilax Strategies and a former Republican Strategist.
• Brian Becker is the Executive Director of the ANSWER Coalition.
• Douglass Sloan is Principal at the National Capitol Strategy Group.
