While \u2064it aims to address \u2063the long-established \u200ddynamics of government funding, it has drawn criticism for not addressing the crisis at the nation&#8217;s southern border. Texas Rep.

The true test lies in how they navigate through criticism, address the concerns of their constituents, and enact meaningful reforms. \u200cSpeaker Mike Johnson now faces this\u2063 test, and only\u200c time will tell if he can maintain the\u200b support and confidence of \u2062his colleagues and\u2062 the American\u200d people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Speaker Mike Johnson&#8217;s honeymoon ending?
