The Spin

Republican narrative

Rep. Mike Johnson's approach here is the right one to take. By splitting up items into individual portfolios, members of Congress will each be able to vote on the matters that best serve the interests of each of their individual constituencies. This was a courageous move by the House speaker.

Democratic narrative

Rather than trying to vote through the Democrat-led plan that would've immediately approved $95B in military aid, Rep. Mike Johnson has instead come up with this complex alternative in an effort to keep his squabbling Republican lawmakers happy. While they're baying for his blood, there's no guarantee it'll succeed.
