Speaker Mike Johnson is navigating a difficult political landscape where he faces skepticism from House Republicans about his funding plan and pressure from former President Trump.
Johnson's inability to rally votes for his six-month spending stopgap reflects a larger concern among GOP lawmakers that their leadership is failing to unite the party.
Amid infighting, blame is circulating between Johnson's deputies and members, with assertions that House Majority Whip Tom Emmer's efforts are seen as inadequate in whipping votes.
Despite efforts to push through his agenda, Johnson's plans face significant hurdles, as evidenced by the lack of bipartisan support and Trump's unpredictable influence.
