“Defiant and determined, the House speaker, Mike Johnson, pushed back on Tuesday against mounting Republican anger over his proposed US aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other allies, and rejected a call to step aside or risk a vote to oust him from office. ‘I am not resigning,’ Johnson said after a testy morning meeting of fellow House Republicans at the Capitol. Johnson referred to himself as a ‘wartime speaker’ of the House and indicated in his strongest self-defense yet he would press forward with a US national security aid package, a situation that would force him to rely on Democrats to help pass it, over objections from his weakened majority.” (04/16/24)
