House Speaker Johnson Faces GOP Rebel Demands, Warns Against Side Deals

House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing pressure from GOP rebels Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie, who are demanding concessions on foreign aid, government funding, and adherence to the Hastert rule. Johnson has held meetings with the rebels, but has so far resisted their demands, warning against making any potential side deals. Some House Republicans have expressed concerns about Johnson negotiating with Greene and Massie, fearing that it could lead to special arrangements for individual members. Despite the challenges, Johnson remains committed to listening to all members and assessing their ideas on their own merit.
