Texas Congressman Chip Roy is one of many conservatives in the House unhappy with Speaker Mike Johnson over the $95B aid package that included $60B for Ukraine.

“I voted no... These bills were brought forward under a contrived process to achieve a pre-determined outcome — a $100 billion, unpaid-for foreign aid package while failing to secure the border," Roy wrote on X.

"For months, House Republicans — specifically, Speaker Mike Johnson — have been unequivocal that we would not send billions in additional aid to Ukraine without securing our own border first. This package represents a complete reversal of a position that previously unified the Republican conference, despite the clear & present danger the southern border represents to U.S. national security."
