Johnson faces growing GOP revolt over warrantless surveillance powers in key vote today
House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a growing conservative revolt over his support for reauthorizing the government's warrantless surveillance powers ahead of a key vote.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a growing conservative backlash as he prepares to vote on reauthorizing the government's warrantless surveillance powers, with many Republicans questioning the authority of his leadership to make such decisions without their input or approval. The opposition is part of a larger GOP revolt against Johnson's handling of several key issues, including immigration and border security. Conservative lawmakers are now calling for a vote of no confidence in the Speaker, which would weaken his position on Capitol Hill. If successful, this move could set off a chain reaction of defections within the Republican conference.
