❗️Republican Mike Johnson is set to lose the House speakership following the Democrats' sweeping midterm victory. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries is poised to replace him in January 2027. Johnson delayed a major Ukraine assistance package for months in 2023 and 2024, although he eventually brought the $61 billion package to a vote. Jeffries has consistently supported assistance for Ukraine and tougher sanctions on Russia. His expected speakership could change how Ukraine aid legislation advances.
