Political Partnership between Republicans and Democrats in Congress
Republicans started with a bold agenda to hold President Biden accountable, but now work with Democrats due to a slim majority. House Democrats will not vote on ousting Speaker Johnson, praising him for bipartisanship. Johnson partnered with Democrats for foreign aid after a flip-flop on border issue. Democrats and some Republicans passed national security agenda, ending Pro-Putin obstruction. This partnership led Greene to question backroom deals. Johnson's move to pass Ukraine aid with Democrat support was unprecedented.
