"House Divided: GOP Rebels Stall Johnson's Border Security Pitch Over $95B Foreign Aid Plan"

GOP rebels, including Rep. Chip Roy, derailed Speaker Mike Johnson's border security bill over frustration with a $95 billion foreign aid plan that does not link border security measures. The House Rules Committee meeting ended without a vote on the bill, as conservative rebels criticized the decision not to tie border security to the foreign aid plan. Speaker Johnson faces challenges from fellow Republicans and a historically slim House majority as he navigates the politically fraught topics of foreign aid and aid to Ukraine.

"Conservative Rebellion Throws House into Chaos Over Shutdown Deal"

A group of hardline Republicans rebelled against their own party, causing a House floor vote to fail and plunging the House into chaos over a bipartisan government shutdown deal. Tensions flared as the rebels, led by the House Freedom Caucus, expressed dissatisfaction with Speaker Mike Johnson's collaboration with Democrats. The rebels' protest vote against a procedural measure was a major setback for House Republican leaders, highlighting internal division and frustration within the GOP. The standoff stems from a spending deal announced by Johnson with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, with government funding set to expire on Jan. 19 and Feb. 2.

Speaker Johnson's Leadership Crucial in Avoiding Government Shutdown

Conservatives in the GOP have expressed trust in new Speaker Mike Johnson, indicating that they would support him in bringing a short-term spending bill to avert a government shutdown if necessary. These conservatives, who opposed the previous Speaker's clean continuing resolution, believe that Johnson has the credibility and trust to negotiate a bill that meets their preconditions, such as true savings and border security. While some lawmakers are open to considering a CR, they emphasize the need for Congress to continue its appropriations work and pass the remaining bills with conservative wins. Johnson's leadership is seen as bringing a new level of trust and a commitment to advancing the conservative agenda.

House Republicans Reject Funding Bill, Risking Government Shutdown

The House of Representatives failed to pass a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown, with 21 Republican members of Congress voting against the bill. The bill, if agreed upon by the Senate, would have given lawmakers more time to gather support for 12 individual spending bills. Funding for the government expires at midnight on Sunday, and without a deal, all federal functions considered "nonessential" will be temporarily placed on hold. The 21 GOP members who voted against the bill include Rep. Andy Biggs, Rep. Lauren Boebert, Rep. Matt Gaetz, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Rep. Nancy Mace.
