Evans is running in his state's...

Following a grueling battle to appoint a new speaker of the House, Johnson insisted that aid requests for Ukraine should be separated from those for Israel and other priorities, leading to the long delay in getting Ukraine and other allies aid. After a $95 billion foreign aid package passed the Senate in February, J...
