this rule over the finish line. this is the last procedural hurdle before house members will be able to actually vote on those four distinct bills that include aid, as you mentioned, to ukraine and to israel, but there was a really stunning moment last night that even preceded what we re seeing today on the house floor, which is that the rules committee, which typically would function that the majority party in this case republicans would all vote together to get their party s legislation onto the house floor. instead, you had three republican hard line conservatives who said they would not vote for this foreign aid package to hit the house floor. they bucked the speaker and their own party on that. all four democrats on that committee came together and helped to get this rule out of their committee and onto the house floor for the vote that you re seeing happen right in front of you right now. it might seem small, it might seem arcane, but that s pretty rare and striking. it s l
he won t fulfill his obligation. why is the border not in this package? because greta we didn t have the votes to do it. if i don t have republican votes that means we have to have democrat votes. reporter: and it s important what he s saying here about the border bill because that s part of the frustration that some house conservatives have here, which is that they wanted to see tougher border security before they moved on getting aid out to any of these other american allies. that s why we re seeing them not just vote against the rule both on the floor and in committee, but also there was supposed to be at some point today a vote on a separate border bill. they can t even do that right now because they don t have the votes, and they could not get it out of the rules committee. yet another reminder of the tough dynamics that speaker mike johnson is working with here. we just saw there is a democrat who s now voted for this most recent vote to get it through to that full house vote

can see so far there have been four democratic nays, we ll keep an eye on those different columns. these bills are facing significant republican opposition. that s why democrats may end up stepping in. far right members threatening speaker johnson s job over this. let s get right over to nbc s ali vitali who s tracking the very latest on capitol hill for us. walk us through what we expect of this vote this morning and after those unusual dynamics overnight. reporter: we re expecting it to be bipartisan in fashion, ana. a lot of movement around me here because these are the steps that lawmakers take to go up into the chamber to vote. some of them of course are already on the floor now. if you re going to see and you re looking at the vote tally in the house chamber right now, you re likely to see a lot more republican votes happening than you are to see democrats voting. it might look like that because our understanding is that they might be waiting, the democrats to see how many of t
