Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing a significant challenge as he attempts to garner support from House Republicans for a short-term funding plan to avert a government shutdown, with just a week remaining. The task has become more difficult due to divisions within the party over federal spending. Although Johnson expressed a desire to prevent a shutdown, House lawmakers left for the weekend without a plan after multiple setbacks. Johnson, who assumed the role just two weeks ago, is working to secure backing among Republicans and is expected to reveal funding legislation over the weekend. The looming deadline of November 17 intensifies the pressure on Johnson, who needs to navigate the unpredictable GOP conference and address internal divisions. Hardline conservatives, typically averse to temporary spending measures, had initially signaled some flexibility to support a continuing resolution. However, Johnson's challenges underscore ongoing tensions within the Republican Party over policy and spending decisions.
