"Conservative Revolt Plunges House into Chaos Over Spending Deal"

House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing pushback from conservative House Republicans over a spending deal he struck with Democrats, with some expressing dissatisfaction and even considering a motion to vacate him from the speakership. The open criticism and parliamentary standoff reflect deep divisions within the party, raising questions about Johnson's ability to unite the conference. Despite some Republicans voicing support for Johnson, others are calling for more spending cuts and action on immigration issues. Johnson defended the spending deal as a "down payment on restoring fiscal sanity" and expressed confidence in his leadership, but the GOP infighting gives Democrats an opportunity to highlight division going into an election year.
