Although the House Rules Committee has already advanced the procedural rule to bundle the bills for one combined floor consideration, Johnson still needs to secure support from his own conference.<\/p>\n<p>GOP leadership has made targeted deals to win over holdouts: opponents of the FISA extension were offered a ban on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-lawmakers-to-watch-as-johnson-tries-to-pass-fisa-extension\/\" title=\"... lawmakers to watch as ... tries to pass ...\">central digital bank currency<\/a> within the package, and rural Republicans were promised the capability to sell the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >gasoline ethanol blend<\/a> E15 year-round. Still, key conservatives have signaled opposition. Rep. Lauren Boebert said she is a \u201cno\u201d on the rule, and Rep. Nancy Mace suggested she may also oppose, arguing her amendments were blocked and questioning why she would vote for the bundled rule.<\/p>\n<p>If the procedural motion fails, the House could effectively stall and Johnson would have to rethink all three measures. Meanwhile, the OMB reportedly urged passage of the DHS funding bill and the related budget resolution, warning that without approval the Trump governance may be unable to keep paying DHS personnel starting in May.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p>House Speaker <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-johnson\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"7043\">Mike Johnson<\/a> (R-LA) is facing a potential floor revolt Wednesday that could derail three major <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republican-party\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"514\">GOP priorities<\/a> and bring the House to a standstill.<\/p>\n<p>The House Rules Committee advanced a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-gop-stops-democrats-attempt-to-tilt-every-election-permanently-in-their-favor\/\" title=\"BREAKING: GOP Stops Democrats\u2019 Attempt To \u2018Tilt Every Election \u2026 Permanently In Their Favor\u2019\">procedural measure<\/a> on Tuesday to tee up floor consideration of three separate bills: an extension of Section 702 of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/fisa\/\">Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act<\/a>, the farm bill, and a party-line budget resolution to fund parts of the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4546073\/king-charles-declines-meeting-epstein-survivors\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>King Charles declines meeting with Epstein survivors due to \u2018ongoing investigation\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4547018\/johnson-breaks-gop-impasse-fisa-farm-bill-budget\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Johnson breaks GOP impasse and tees up votes on spy tool, farm bill, and budget bill<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4546460\/king-charles-address-congress\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Five key themes of King Charles III\u2019s address to Congress<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>But while Johnson was able to successfully get the procedural measure passed out of committee, he now must wrangle his entire conference to support bringing the bills to the floor. <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Rep.

For privacy hawks threatening to hold up a three-year extension of FISA, leadership agreed to include a ban within the spy powers package on central digital bank currency. To appease rural Republicans on the fence about the farm bill, Republicans agreed to allow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-tim-scott-targets-chinese-communist-party-in-latest-campaign-ad-over-buying-farmland\/\" title=\"Sen.

Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has declared she is a \u201cno.\u201d Meanwhile, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) also signaled she could oppose bringing the bills to the House floor. Both Mace and Boebert had amendments to the bills blocked by the rules panel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublicans on the committee unanimously voted against them and they will not even be considered for a floor vote,\u201d Boebert wrote in a post on X. \u201cFarmers and ranchers in my district are counting on me to be their voice in DC and our \u2018leadership\u2019 is not letting me do my job.

That means lawmakers will only have to vote once to bring all three bills to the floor.<\/p>\n<p>That strategy is not favored by everyone in the House, with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) calling it a \u201cmistake\u201d to put them all under the same legislative vehicle and calling on them to be separated.<\/p>\n<p>If the procedural motion fails, however, the lower chamber will grind to a halt, and Johnson will be forced to go back to the drawing board for all three pieces of legislation.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4547018\/johnson-breaks-gop-impasse-fisa-farm-bill-budget\/\"><strong>JOHNSON BREAKS GOP IMPASSE ON SPY TOOL, FARM BILL, AND BUDGET BILL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Working in Johnson\u2019s favor, the Office of Management and Budget <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cami_mondeaux\/status\/2049275791855300911\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cami_mondeaux\/status\/2049275791855300911\">reportedly sent out a memo<\/a> Tuesday urging Congress to pass the Senate\u2019s funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security as well as the budget resolution passed out of the House Rules Committee as part of the package. <\/p>\n<p>If the measures are not passed, OMB warned that the Trump administration will be unable to continue paying DHS personnel starting in May amid the partial government shutdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a GOP floor revolt that could stall three major priorities-spy tool, farm bill, and DHS funding<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2912,"featured_media":2596502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AP26111573438266.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[65285,39509,47846,76489],"class_list":["post-2596501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-dhs-funding","tag-farm-bill","tag-gop-rebels","tag-spy-powers-2"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AP26111573438266.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2596501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2596501"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2596501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2596509,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2596501\/revisions\/2596509"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2596502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2596501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2596501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2596501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
