Allison Benedikt andThe battle over aid to Israel continues to heat up in Washington. While President Biden has proposed a $105 billion package that would distribute aid to Israel, Ukraine and other corners of the world, Mike Johnson, the newly-elected Republican House Speaker, has put forth a package that only addresses aid to Israel. Karoun Demirjian, a congressional correspondent in The Times’s Washington bureau, gives Lulu Garcia-Navarro an update on the state of the aid package, and describes the scene from a divided D.C.

Hosted by Lulu Garcia-Navarro.
