Mike Johnson's coming surrender on the government shutdown
Briefly

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s arduous 10-day political battle culminates in discussions about a potential clean funding bill, yet he faces ongoing resistance from hardline conservatives.
Despite Johnson’s attempts to hold firm on a six-month stopgap and voting legislation, GOP sentiment is shifting towards a stopgap measure that excludes his preferred amendments, causing friction.
Appropriations Chair Tom Cole indicates a shift towards a bipartisan funding solution while Johnson remains cryptic about his plan B, illustrating tensions within the GOP ranks.
With potential dissent brewing among House Republicans, figures like Rep. Ralph Norman express disappointment at the prospect of a clean bill, indicating significant divisions within the party.
