Speaker Mike Johnson is facing a mutiny among his members on both sides of Republicans’ ideological spectrum over what is in the continuing resolution and how he has handled the process of putting together the stopgap funding measure.
Members of the House Freedom Caucus told NOTUS just last week that they were entirely on board with the idea of a three-month continuing resolution through March. They even advocated for it, saying it was a smart and good plan.
Now, not so much. The hard-liner caucus shifted on the CR after Johnson added over $100 billion for disaster relief, $10 billion in aid for farmers and pharmacy benefit manager reform — a key priority for PHARMA that has immense bipartisan support.
