The border deal has placed one of the most vexing political issues at the center of President Joe Biden’s foreign policy agenda and forced him to take a tougher stance on an issue that has been a liability ahead of November.
But former President Donald Trump and Johnson have attacked the border deal as too weak, and their opposition threatens to derail the legislation.
“Let me be clear: The Senate Border Bill will NOT receive a vote in the House,” the Louisiana Republican wrote on X.
Johnson announced Saturday that the House will vote this week on a standalone bill providing aid for Israel.
It’s unclear whether a foreign aid package would be able to pass on its own as many Senate Republicans have demanded tighter border security in exchange for aid to those allies.
