Mike Johnson uncertain about GOP support for funding bill

Speaker Mike Johnson is set to vote on a GOP bill aimed at preventing a federal government shutdown this weekend. He is uncertain if he has enough support within his party, facing opposition from some Republicans. Johnson has not sought help from former President Trump but remains optimistic about securing votes. Some Republicans, including Rep. Thomas Massie, have publicly opposed the bill, which includes funding for Trump's deportation efforts. Democrats, led by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, are unlikely to support the measure, citing cuts to essential programs. The bill will face additional challenges in the Senate, where it requires bipartisan support to pass.
