PA GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick has a different petition on his own aid bill. This is a bipartisan bill
me and…
It's a long shot and a risky move as it may cause Republicans to close ranks, I believe it needs ~5 Republicans to side against Johnson but there's also the possibility some House Dems vote against it due to the Israel aid portion, if they do then it'll need more than 5 Republicans to side against Johnson, even though an aid bill would pass if Johnson let it be put to a vote, this is different and will be a major embarrassment for Johnson if it ultimately leads to aid being voted on as it's basically going around Johnson and forcing a vote, hence why a lot of Republicans might vote against it.
It has 86 signatures so far but I don't believe there's a timeframe on when signatures have to be made.
