The House of Representatives held a procedural vote.
On Friday, April 19, the US House of Representatives held a procedural vote on foreign aid bills , including to Ukraine, which will allow them to be submitted for further consideration. This decision was supported by 316 Republicans and Democrats, writes The Hill.
House Speaker Mike Johnson relied heavily on Democrats during the vote to overcome a blockade from conservatives in his party. More Democrats than Republicans voted to advance the relief package, with 165 Democrats supporting the procedural step, Bloomberg writes .

The House Rules Committee has voted 9-3 to advance a package of bills providing aid to Israel, Ukraine, and other allies, after Democrats took the rare step of supporting a procedural vote for Republican bills.
Republican Reps. Chip Roy, Thomas Massie and Ralph Norman voted against the rule, out of anger that assistance to Ukraine was not paired with conservative border security provisions, as House Speaker Mike Johnson had previously pushed to do.
Three hard core Putin lovers voted against the bill. Putin will give them the Russian Freedom Medal.
That was just a vote on the rule, the vote on worshipping Vladolf comes tomorrow.
