In response to the upcoming speaker vote, House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced plans to establish a working group focused on spending and government reform. This move is seen as an attempt to address concerns raised by GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz and other Republican members who have been hesitant in their support.
While Johnson's pledge does not outline specific legislative commitments or changes to committee rosters, it is a public acknowledgment of the need for reform within the party. He has emphasized that he will not engage in private negotiations to secure votes.
