<p>A group of just over a dozen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> helped bring the chamber to a screeching halt on Wednesday in yet another stand against leadership.</p>
<p>Thirteen GOP lawmakers joined with all voting Democrats to <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/20243" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help defeat</a> a resolution that would have allowed consideration of a <a href="https://twitter.com/CraigCaplan/status/1745170014607425862" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trio of measures</a> that were scheduled for debate this week. Votes for the rest of the day <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1745171901570220169" target="_blank" rel="noopener">got cancelled</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The House is essentially frozen again. The GOP leadership cannot bring up any bills that are not already noticed on the suspension calendar. and conservatives just killed leadership&#8217;s ability to bring up any bills under a rule,&#8221; Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1745168328811835550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X.</p>
<p>Among the defectors were Reps. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/rep-chip-roy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chip Roy</a> (R-TX) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), members who have voiced opposition to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-and-senate-leaders-reach-spending-deal-johnson-touts-concessions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;topline&#8221; government spending deal</a> struck between Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Democrats that the critics argue does not do enough to rein in the budget.</p>
<p>Greene <a href="https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1745186133036728494" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CNN</a> that &#8220;people at home&#8221; do not want Johnson &#8220;getting rolled&#8221; in negotiations. &#8220;That&#8217;s not what we want to see out of our speaker,&#8221; Greene said,&#8221; Otherwise what&#8217;s the difference [between] Nancy Pelosi having the gavel and us having the majority?&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">As 13 hardliners paralyze the House today in a revolt against Speaker Johnson&#39;s spending deal, one of those Republicans &#8212; MTG &#8212; told me that Johnson is getting &quot;rolled&quot; by Democrats.</p>

<p>Another member who broke ranks, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), <a href="https://twitter.com/RepAndyBiggsAZ/status/1745170895021236636" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted to X</a>, &#8220;No border? No spending,&#8221; in an apparent reference to the ongoing push by Republicans to secure border security reforms as <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/migrant-crossings-u-s-southern-border-record-monthly-high-december/#:~:text=The%20current%20spike%20in%20migration,10%2C000%20migrants%20in%2024%20hours." target="_blank" rel="noopener">migrant crossings spike to record levels</a>.</p>
<p>A government shutdown looms <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/johnson-led-house-passes-bill-to-avert-government-shutdown-with-dem-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a two-step continuing resolution (CR) passed in November</a> funds certain federal agencies through January 19 while others would get money through February 2.</p>
<p>The GOP uprising seen on Wednesday is reminiscent of the revolt a small group of Republicans waged against then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) last year, which ended in him losing the gavel. Roy is even saying that he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republican-wont-rule-out-motion-to-vacate-against-speaker-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won&#8217;t rule out</a> using the same &#8220;motion to vacate&#8221; mechanism that led to the no-confidence vote <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-ousted-from-speakership-after-democrats-side-with-matt-gaetz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resulting in McCarthy&#8217;s ouster</a>.</p>
<p>Johnson indicated that he is not concerned about facing a similar fate. &#8220;I don’t think I’m in any jeopardy of being vacated. It&#8217;s not something I walk around and think about,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1745180463784710384" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the speaker</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/jordainc/status/1745181667411562915" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Fox News</a>.</p>
