A group of House Republicans who had previously been skeptical of House Speaker Mike Johnson have now come around and delivered a dramatic win on the first ballot. The 11 House Republicans, including Rep. Ralph Norman, released a letter outlining a list of demands for Speaker Johnson now that he holds the gavel.
In their letter, the lawmakers called on Johnson to add more session days to the House calendar, ensure that any reconciliation package includes significant spending cuts, and avoid putting bills on the floor that heavily rely on Democratic support or that are brought up before the 72-hour review period for legislation.
