House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing significant backlash from conservative members of his party, including U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, following the passage of a $1.2 trillion spending bill. Critics accuse Johnson of violating party rules by pushing forward a bill that funds open borders, abortion, and trans ideology, arguing that Republican voters deserve a new leader. The bill, described as a gross spending bill, was passed with majority Democratic support and has sparked discussions about Johnson's leadership and the possibility of him being replaced as Speaker. Johnson, who has been in office for just six months, is accused of failing to fulfill promises, including securing the border. The spending package has also been criticized for being rushed through with little time for lawmakers to read it, despite Johnson's claims that it aims to move Congress away from reliance on massive omnibus bills. With little room for error in his fractured Republican majority, Johnson faces bubbling anger from his right flank.
