  • A Republican backlash to the speaker's plan to temporarily fund the government has sparked new talk of ousting him, and highlighted the challenges he will face if he manages to keep his job.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 19, 2024, discusses a significant spending deal reached by House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to fund the government and avoid a shutdown. The agreement sets a top-line spending figure of $1.59 trillion for the fiscal year, which includes $886 billion for defense and $704 billion for non-defense discretionary spending. This deal also incorporates an additional $69 billion in adjustments for non-defense spending, aligning with previous agreements to offset cuts. The bipartisan effort aims to provide stability and prevent the recurring threat of government shutdowns, although it still needs to navigate through the legislative process, facing potential opposition from both conservative and progressive factions. The deal reflects a compromise to maintain government operations while addressing the diverse priorities of both parties.
