Mike Johnson Mulls Another Tough Vote Next Week

“Speaker Mike Johnson is eyeing a floor vote on a revised spy powers bill next week,” Politico reports.

“The move would almost certainly renew lingering tensions within the House GOP over what to do about Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Act, after deep divisions forced Republicans to punt the issue late last year. Johnson’s handling of how to reauthorize surveillance powers also led to widespread criticism of his leadership.”

New York Times: “Little more than 100 days into his tenure, the speaker who was handed an impossible job has only made it more difficult for himself, baffling his colleagues.”
