Democrats joined with Republicans to push for a vote on legislation imposing sanctions on Russia and providing aid to Ukraine.

On Wednesday, Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives successfully gathered enough signatures to bypass House Speaker Mike Johnson and force a vote on a package of sanctions against Russia and billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine. This marks the eighth time in the past three years that some Democrats and Republicans have jointly acted through a "discharge petition" to circumvent Republican leadership and push legislation to a vote.
