Speaker Mike Johnson Faces Uncertain Future After Budget Deal

Johnson's reliance on Democratic support to avert a shutdown raises doubts about his leadership among Republican hard-liners.

The House passed a short-term funding extension to avoid a government shutdown, with more Democratic than Republican votes.
Speaker Mike Johnson's decision to work with Democrats has drawn criticism from his party's hard-right faction.
Johnson's leadership is under scrutiny, reminiscent of Kevin McCarthy's ousting for similar bipartisan actions.
Some Republicans believe Johnson's future as speaker hinges on former President Donald Trump's endorsement.
With the November elections approaching, Johnson's ability to retain his position remains in question.
