Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday that "there should probably be conditions" on aid to help California deal with devastating wildfires when asked if he's open to sending funding, signaling a possible political battle over helping the traditionally Democratic state.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) argued that there should be conditions on wildfire aid, reasoning that state and local officials showed incompetence in their response.

A number of Republicans are calling for conditions to any federal aid that goes to California as the state struggles with catastrophic wildfires.
