House Speaker Mike Johnson's proposal to provide aid to Israel by cutting $14.3 billion from the IRS budget is facing bipartisan opposition in the Senate. President Biden has threatened to veto the bill if it does not include aid for Ukraine. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the bill would increase the deficit by $12.5 billion over 10 years. House Democrats are criticizing the bill for prioritizing Israel over other funding requests. Despite the CBO report, Speaker Johnson plans to hold a vote on the bill.
