Johnson’s House Wins Hit by Intra-GOP Chaos as Senate Looms
TL;DR
House Republicans logged wins under Speaker Mike Johnson by advancing a budget framework to restart DHS immigration enforcement funding and a three-year FISA reauthorization, but the path faces Senate resistance and internal GOP battles, especially over the Farm Bill’s ethanol provision (E15) and a side deal to decouple it from the bill. Senate timing and opposition, plus warnings from GOP leaders like Sen. Thune about delays and political messaging on cost of living, threaten to derail momentum as lawmakers head into a weeklong recess.
