Will Democrats rescue Johnson's speakership to protect aid for Ukraine and Israel? - Washington Week PBS

It seems that Mike Johnson, the unlikeliest speaker in recent memory, might not be falling off the tightrope quite yet. The far-right of his party has, predictably, turned on him, but Donald Trump hasn’t and neither have the Democrats. Johnson found his voice on Ukraine, and instead of subverting his speakership, the Democrats seem to be riding to his rescue. - Aired on 04/19/2024.

(IMO) 1) are Dems willing to sacrifice important and achievable legislation (i.e. foreign aid, etc.) in order to screw with the Rs? and 2) is there any suggestion that a Johnson replacement would be an improvement, insofar as Democratic goals and aspirations?
