“Speaker Mike Johnson’s self-described ‘righteous’ idea to pair a six-month funding bill with the SAVE Act is on the brink of imploding. A number of House Republicans are unpersuaded by the proposal, describing it as irresponsible and ill-advised,” Punchbowl News reports.
“The GOP opposition to the measure ranges from hardline conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus to defense hawks to moderates. Every move Johnson makes to pick up votes in one place loses him votes somewhere else.”
Politico: “It was doomed in the Senate from the start, but now there are fresh doubts that he can even get it through the House.”
Axios: Mike Johnson’s shutdown strategy is crumbling.
