"Mike Johnson's Early Speakership Faces Divisive Votes and Scrutiny"
Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing an early test of his leadership as divisive floor votes on resolutions to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, censure Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and expel Republican Rep. George Santos threaten to split the GOP. Johnson is trying to balance the interests of different factions within the party while focusing on spending bills and aid to Israel. The resolutions are unlikely to pass, but they highlight the internal tensions within the Republican conference.
