Tensions are high within the House GOP as hardliners express discontent with Speaker Johnson's handling of the government funding talks. Some members threaten to withhold their support during the January speakership vote if Johnson fails to meet their demands for a short-term funding extension.
House GOP hardliners are furious with how congressional leaders are handling the ongoing government funding talks, with some even suggesting they could withhold support from Speaker Mike Johnson , R-La., to head their conference again over his handling of the matter. Negotiators are working on a short-term extension of current government funding levels known as a continuing resolution . A bill must pass the House and Senate by the end of Friday, Dec.
Johnson won unanimous support to be speaker again in House Republicans’ closed-door elections earlier this year, hours after Trump told lawmakers he supported him.

Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., whose district has a significant agricultural sector, said some lawmakers were concerned that farm policy provisions in the CR would hinder Congress’ negotiation for a new Farm Bill, comprehensive legislation setting food and agricultural policy that’s set to expire this year.
