The House Foreign Affairs Committee considered a $1 billion cut to military aid, with Chair James P. Richards warning sharp cuts could hurt the U.S. global position.

Johnson won party control in recent precinct and county conventions, giving him a majority among delegates to today’s convention. The State Executive Committee is normally not rolled into a September convention.
