Breitbart: Mitt Romney: Democrats May Help Mike Johnson Remain Speaker
House Speaker Mike Johnson may need Democratic support to retain his position, according to Sen. Mitt Romney. This scenario could lead to a power-sharing agreement with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, which might conflict with President-elect Donald Trump's agenda.
Johnson's future as Speaker is precarious, as he can only afford to lose one Republican vote without Democratic backing. With up to 25 Republicans potentially opposing him, Trump's waning confidence in Johnson raises questions about his leadership. The Speakership election is scheduled for January 3.

Breitbart: MAGA Revolt Slashes Original 1,547 Page Spending Bill to 118
A House bill to prevent a government shutdown was significantly reduced from 1,547 pages to 118 after pushback from America First Republicans against House Speaker Mike Johnson's original proposal. The revised bill aims to fund the government until March 14, including disaster relief and farm aid, but does not extend the debt limit.
Johnson's leadership is now under scrutiny as he pushes for a short-term funding measure that requires a two-thirds majority to pass. If it garners support from House Democrats and is quickly processed by the Senate, it could reach President Biden before the midnight deadline.
Fox News: Here's what's different in the new spending legislation approved by the House
House lawmakers approved a spending bill to prevent a government shutdown, passing it 366-34. The new legislation omits a controversial debt limit extension sought by President-elect Trump, which had faced opposition from both Democrats and fiscal conservatives.
The bill includes $10 billion in aid for farmers and $100 billion in disaster relief for hurricane victims. House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized that the legislation ensures military and essential services will be funded, allowing federal employees to be paid during the holiday season.
Fox News: The 34 House Republicans who voted against a bill to avert a partial government shutdown

Rep. Tim Burchett and others expressed dissatisfaction with the bill, criticizing its provisions and the amount of funding allocated to the Biden administration. The bill will now proceed to the Senate, where President Biden has indicated he will sign it if passed.
