Johnson faces brewing GOP rebellion after farm aid deal collapses
"Speaker Mike Johnson is facing a brewing rebellion from farm district Republicans after congressional leaders failed to secure an agreement to add economic aid for farmers to the next stop-gap spending bill.
The threat of a new wave of GOP defections among farm district Republicans presents a fresh challenge for Johnson, who is already navigating a narrow majority and opposition from his own right flank as he tries to fund the government before a shutdown Dec. 21. And it will likely force the speaker to find more Democratic votes before the current funding runs out Friday.
The speaker’s team has been exploring other options to add the farm aid into the stopgap, but Democrats are demanding their own additions in return. As Johnson attended the Army-Navy football game with President-elect Donald Trump Saturday, his team quietly worked to hold off any more GOP defections, according to three people familiar with the private conversations who were granted anonymity to discuss them. The last-minute snags are pushing release of the stopgap into Monday, despite lawmakers hoping they could circulate the text Sunday."
