What to know about the three foreign aid bills the House of Representatives will vote on this week

Speaker Mike Johnson has released a much-anticipated series of foreign aid bills, teeing up the House of Representatives for a vote within days as President Joe Biden vows to sign it into law “immediately.”

The $94bn package comes in three separate bills delineating aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. The package has been Senate-approved since February and subsequently stalled by the GOP-led House. The allocations will only apply through September 2024, when the fiscal year ends. A fourth bill that covers a wide range of GOP foreign policy priorities will also be considered. Voting is expected to begin on Saturday.

House Republicans are also expected to release a fifth bill calling for increased US-Mexico border security.

The president praised Mr Johnson’s decision to put the bills forward, pledging to sign them into law if passed.

This release comes as Mr Johnson faces calls for his removal by far-right members of the House. Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie urged Mr Johnson to step down during a meeting of the House GOP conference on Tuesday. The call came after Mr Johnson said he was putting forth the foreign aid legislation.

“I am not concerned about this, I am going to do my job, and I think that’s what the American people expect of us,” the Speaker said on Tuesday.

Last month, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene also filed a motion to remove him as Speaker after he allowed the House to vote on funding the federal government for the rest of the current fiscal year. Mr Massie has since said he would support her measure.

Other members, like GOP Representative Chip Roy, have also said they will vote against a rule needed to bring the bills to a vote. The Speaker will need Democratic votes to both pass
