Six House Republicans broke with GOP leadership on Wednesday, joining Democrats to advance legislation that would provide billions of dollars in additional support to Ukraine despite ongoing opposition from President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The House voted 218-204 in favor of a discharge petition that forces consideration of the Ukraine Support Act, a measure that had remained stalled for more than a year after Republican leaders declined to bring it to the floor.

The vote marks one of the most significant bipartisan challenges to Republican leadership on foreign.

President Biden has named his next chief of staff to replace the outgoing Ron Klain: Jeff Zients.

As Biden’s COVID-19 czar, Zients helped distribute millions of vaccines and N95 masks and sped the development of the COVID antiviral pill Paxlovid.

His appointment comes as Biden prepares for the 2024 presidential election and House Republicans investigate the administration.

An official transition event will occur at the White House next week.

CBS News reports:

In a lengthy statement, Mr. Biden praised Klain for his tireless work, and said he is “confident that Jeff will continue Ron’s example of smart, steady leadership, as we continue to work hard every day for the people we were sent here to serve.”

CBS News had already reported that Zients would replace Klain. Klain has been Mr. Biden’s chief of staff since day one. 

Mr. Biden has described Zients as an “expert manager,” which is why the president brought him on to handle the administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He does have more business experience than Klain, something that could benefit the president as he heads into the second half of his term. Zients left his position as COVID-19 coordinator last year.

“He’s a great implementer, he’s great with operations and he’s also an amazing human being, which I think should matter as well,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said before any announcement was made. 

Conservatives blasted Zients’ appointment, citing his record of pushing for strict vaccine requirements for employees, pressuring social media companies to censor users and the following remark:

    …or as most of us recognize the next unelected President of the United States. Because as we all know, Joe Biden isn’t running anything.

    Bidens mouth has the runs but a diaper can be modified. If we can do something for our border and pipeline? We can finally label Biden the lame duck that he is. I would rather read a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale than to have one follow one in the white house. They say good things come to those who wait. I hope that the wait helps all America. The forced EV cars are 20 years ahead of their time. Youre not hearing it but the sun is going through a cooling off period. The ignorance in taking fertilizers away from our farmers is beyond Freudian. Freud was a cocaine nose sucking baby doctor.

    Perfect guy for the job. As the Covid onion continues to peel back and the truth is laid bare, it is obvious that the Biden administration is corrupt and dysfunctional beyond anything we’ve ever experienced. When does the nightmare end?
