Johnson faces major leadership test as GOP wars over government shutdown
Fox News
House Republicans are watching House Speaker Mike Johnson's handling of the government spending fight carefully as he readies to make his case to lead the conference next year.
Conservatives on Johnson’s right flank, however, want him to keep fighting for a six-month CR attached to a bill that would require proof of citizenship in the voter registration process – which the Democrat-controlled White House and Senate have called a nonstarter. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives. Previous digital bylines seen at Daily Mail and CBS News.
Johnson was forced to delay a planned vote on that bill last week amid a wave of Republican defections from lawmakers who saw it as a "messaging" tactic without a sufficient plan to get the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act enacted.
