Speaker Mike Johnson navigates GOP infighting to pass major legislation including FISA reauthorization, farm bill, and budget resolution

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) successfully guided the House to pass several major bills this week, including Section 702 FISA reauthorization, a party-line budget resolution, a Senate-passed funding deal, and the farm bill, despite significant GOP internal conflict. The legislative process required multiple procedural delays, floor negotiations, and direct speaker intervention to secure Republican votes. The wins came at political cost, with multiple Republican members expressing frustration over Johnson's deal-making style and last-minute negotiations.
