House Republicans have reached out to House Democrats hoping to pass a supplemental bill to provide assistance for Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific, said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Feb. 7.

Mr. Jeffries told reporters during his weekly press conference that there have been “several Republicans who are not in leadership” who have reached out to their House colleagues on the other side of the aisle to put together “a comprehensive national security package.”
