House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said Tuesday that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) committed to linking Israel and Ukraine aid packages as he seeks to shore up support for his Speakership bid.
McCaul is among a number of moderate Republicans who have come around to backing Jordan this week after meetings with the former far-right Freedom Caucus chairman.
McCaul told CNN’s Kate Bolduan that one deciding factor for him was Jordan’s commitment to linking U.S. aid for Israel’s war against Hamas with funding for Ukraine’s war against Russia.
“Well, I had a very good conversation with him. I was concerned about national security issues, particularly if we pass an Israeli supplemental national security bill, would Ukraine be included in that?” McCaul said.
“And I was assured that he could link the two. He would look at the details of that, but that was very important to me.”

Olympia Snowe voted AGAINST the ObamaCare cloture vote in 2009. And the Democrats didn’t need her — because they had 60 Democratic Senators to support the cloture vote.
McCaul wouldn't hesitate to lie to undermine Jordan.
Of course I’m OK with it.
Jordan is a charlatan and will betray conservatives.
And, he’s SAID he will do so.
Many Repubs and of course Dems are owned by the America last club . With 33T in debt we shouldnt be giving a dime to any country. They should be paying us.

“A small minority of Republicans members along with all the Democrats voted against Jordan.”
That’s how we got rid of that traitor McCarthy.
You OK with that?
The last time they did it was for the ultimate Swamp Corp Welfare entity - the Import Export Bank
It is the Axios story spun the exact way. They are the ones playing us. They are trying to crater the base support for Jordon and it is working on some
As soon as he sold out to the Dem's and RINO's on Ukraine, he lost his Conservative/non-Deep State status.
Ukraine is the CIA/NWO/Democrats money-laundering and Donor payoff scheme, and now Jordan agrees to help them.
Might as well let Jeffries win it, as Democrats ALWAYS vote lock-step/Party-line, while "Republicans" negotiate (aka: sellout).
The ol' USA was toast after the coup/Theft of 2020, and it's too late to save it with "ballots".
Vast majority is an understatement.
Overwhelming majority is closer.
Trump won NEB by big double digits-
Don Bacon is a NO-
who is he representing?
PS North Korea, China et al agree on everything too-
like the Democrats.
Here was the cloture vote (Snowe voted NO):

China
Can we form our own party now? How many times do we need to see the GOP betray MAGA? How many TIME?!
You are spewing nonsense now and making a fool of yourself.
Welfare always wrong
How come no journalists follows upbwith these clowns. Why does it need to be linked other than hiding your vote you coward!
This is BS. How about the “Speaker” speak for the citizens by brings issues to the floor that the citizens care about? Ukraine is issues 12 or 14. The whole house has to be cleaned out as far as I’m concerned.
