Speaker Johnson is facing conservative pushback over the spending deal he struck with Democrats

SRN NEWS

As Speaker Mike Johnson gathered House Republicans behind closed doors Wednesday to sell the spending deal he reached with Democrats, one thing quickly became clear: many GOP lawmakers weren’t buying it.

Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio left early, saying he’d had enough.

“I’m not going to sit there and listen to that drivel, because he has no plans to do anything but surrender,” Davidson said.

In the afternoon, 13 Republicans refused to support a routine procedural vote setting the stage for considering three GOP-led bills. A similar revolt occurred in June when, for the first time in some 20 years, such a routine vote was defeated, essentially grinding the House to a halt.

“We needed to send a message that what’s going on with this announced agreement is unacceptable,” said Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., the chairman of House Freedom Caucus, made up many of the House’s most conservative lawmakers.
