What has changed in the calculus for Mike Johnson? Why would he pass the Ukraine package now? The Republican majority is now even smaller than before. The rank and file promised their voters that they would not accept aid to Ukraine until the border is fixed. Marjorie Taylor Greene already made some noise about a vote of no confidence, though she did not bring that to a floor vote as of yet. So if Johnson did pass the Ukraine aid in any form, he would have to trust on the Democrats supporting him, unlike Kevin McCarthy. So the Democrats would have to support Johnson not once but from now until the election! How could Johnson rely on that? And if he owed his position to the Democrats, how could he lead his own anymore? I find it impossible to believe that Johnson would pass the Ukraine aid. It simply is not a voting issue in 2024 to anyone. In fact, I would say that Biden making Ukraine his key achievement in his first term makes it more likely for Trump and his camp to leave Biden twisting in the wind. If Biden goes into the Washington NATO summit still saying "They need to pass the supplemental" then its a historic humiliation for him, which is what Trump cares about. Trump most likely calculates that it does not matter what he does because Europeans are worthless dependants anyway. Trump's base believes that the world is a parasite on the Americans, Europeans in particular. What they do not know is that if Europe stops supporting the dollar, there is no more dollar. The only people who understand that dominating Europe on the cheap is why NATO exists are the foreign policy elites, who of course cannot explain this to the public.
