Johnson added that he wants "accountability" over how the money is spent as lawmakers "have a stewardship responsibility over the precious treasure of the American people." "Well, they should definitely be separate questions," Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., told NBC News. "We have a lot of members who want to vote for Ukraine funding. So that may be a vote that they're able to bring to bear through regular order."
"I suspect that it might pass because some Republicans and Democrats support it," Good said. "I don't think we ought to bring it to the floor unless it's supported by a majority of Republicans. That's why we have a majority Republican House. I would not vote for it. However, this is a town of negotiation and to some degree compromise."
Lummis, who backs continued support of Ukraine, said there must be a way to pay for it. "It's kind a red line for me on Ukraine," she said in the Capitol on Thursday. "I don't want the citizens of the United States to go through what they're going through now, which is living paycheck to paycheck, in order to pay for the war in Ukraine. I want to help Ukraine desperately and I think it's something I can get behind, but not if it's not paid for.
