Mike Johnson faces GOP rebellion if he presses ahead with a spending bill backed by Democrats

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

36% : "If Republicans in the House, and Senate, don't get absolute assurances on Election Security, THEY SHOULD, IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, GO FORWARD WITH A CONTINUING RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
35% : One person familiar with Johnson's efforts told Politico that the speaker is seeking to persuade Trump that his potential second term would start on a much better footing if the current spending fight were resolved before January, even if Republicans might miss a chance to dictate terms should they regain full control of Washington.
31% : "Playing fast and loose with government on the eve of a national election is not going to be good for our nominee for president," Rep. Tom Cole, R-Ok., told Politico.
28% : Minutes later, Trump weighed in with his customary bombast, pressing Republicans to "close it down" if Democrats would not vote for the voter ID measure.
12% : Hard-right Republicans, meanwhile, are not-so-privately invoking Trump to pressure Johnson.
