"House Speaker Johnson's Stand on Averting Shutdown Sparks Republican Revolt"

Speaker Mike Johnson has announced that he will stand by the spending deal he negotiated with Democrats to avert a government shutdown, despite pressure from hard-right Republicans to abandon the agreement. This decision means that Johnson will need to work with Democrats to pass a short-term bill to keep the government funded past upcoming deadlines. The hard-right Republicans are furious at the spending levels in the bipartisan plan and have threatened to force a vote to oust Johnson, but he has reaffirmed the compromise, citing concessions secured by Republicans.
