GOP rebels issue warning to Speaker Johnson after vote debacle: 'Cuts are imminent'

Members of the House Freedom Caucus are warning Speaker Mike Johnson that they will push for spending cuts if he fails to deliver on his promises. The GOP rebellion over government spending last week marked Johnson's first major setback as Speaker. Fractures within the House GOP Conference over spending have resurfaced, with some members expressing dissatisfaction with Johnson's approach. However, others are hopeful that Johnson will listen to the rank-and-file members and advance conservative policies. The Freedom Caucus is sending a message that they want to see progress and good policy, not "failure theater."
