House GOP feud reignites as Speaker Johnson is caught between warring wings
Speaker Johnson faces new GOP rebellion, this time from moderates. Republican lawmakers who represent major city suburbs are frustrated over SALT deduction caps. Salt deduction caps are not included in the tax bill, which does not include measures taking on SALT deductions. Speaker Johnson: "I'm not going to back down, I'm going to vote to keep it up"
Johnson caught between warring House GOP factions: ‘Drifting toward mob rule’ Rank-and-file House Republicans are growing increasingly irate at GOP hardliners. House Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to force House Speaker to renege on an agreement to fund the government.
House Republicans hoped to turn over a new leaf in the new year. But they returned to the Capitol this week confronting the same exact problems that plagued the party last year. House Republicans faced a razor-thin majority, rebellious right flank, and looming threats of a government shutdown.
