House Freedom Caucus Pressures Speaker Johnson

The House Freedom Caucus, a group of conservative Republicans, has issued a warning to Speaker Mike Johnson following his narrow reelection. In a letter signed by 11 members, they expressed their support for Johnson was contingent upon his commitment to enacting President Trump's agenda, despite their reservations about his past performance. The caucus demands include increasing the House's session days, advancing legislation on border security, spending cuts, and reversing Biden's policies. They emphasized the need for swift action to adhere to the policies that voters expect from the Republican Party. Johnson faces the challenge of maintaining unity within the GOP, as he can afford to lose only a single vote to remain in his position. The dynamics signal a precarious situation for Johnson, with potential repercussions if he fails to meet the caucus's demands.
