House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a number of challenges and a growing to-do list during his first full week as House speaker, tackling issues such as must-pass spending legislation as well as aid requests to Israel and Ukraine amid foreign wars.
If all three pass, the House will have advanced eight of its 12 annual appropriations bills so far. Shortly before being elected House speaker, Johnson released an aggressive legislative schedule to avoid a government shutdown that tees up all appropriations bills for a vote before the Nov. 17 deadline.
The legislation accuses Tlaib of displaying"antisemitic activity" and"leading an insurrection" at the U.S. Capitol, referring to a demonstration earlier this month when pro-Palestinian protesters rallied outside members' offices to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. More than 100 of the protesters were arrested, with a handful being charged with assaulting police officers, according to the U.S. Capitol Police.
"With all the challenges we are facing right now, House Republicans are racing to once again list up something that Marjorie Taylor Greene is doing, which tells us that their focus continues to be in the wrong place," said Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Thursday.Meanwhile, Greene must contend with a censure resolution targeted toward herself.
It’s not clear whether Balint’s motion will be brought to the floor on the same day as Greene’s resolution. However, Balint filed the resolution as privileged, meaning House leadership must bring it to the floor for a vote on either Wednesday or Thursday.Scandal-ridden New York freshman Santos will also face a consequential vote sometime this week as a handful of his fellow Republicans seek to expel him from Congress altogether.
“We have a four-seat majority," Speaker Johnson told Fox News’s Sean Hannity over the weekend."We have no margin for error … We have to allow due process to play itself out."Lawmakers are also set to vote on providing aid to Israel as it continues to engage in the war against Hamas that began earlier this month.
