Conservatives Seek Concessions Before Speaker Vote

“A dozen hard-line House conservatives are demanding a host of amorphous commitments from Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to win their support Friday, throwing his leadership tenure into uncertainty less than 24 hours before the vote,” The Hill reports.

“The holdouts are largely seeking promises on spending cuts and assurances that rank-and-file members will be involved in negotiations for high-stakes legislation moving forward, two topics that hard-line Republicans have griped about for months.”
