<p>The GOP-led <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> approved a rule on Thursday that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-defectors-blow-up-house-vote-amid-spending-protest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed to pass less</a> than 24 hours earlier amid a revolt against Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) by small group of Republicans over spending and border security that appears to have abated for the moment.</p>
<p>A resolution to allow consideration of a <a href="https://twitter.com/CraigCaplan/status/1745170014607425862" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trio of unrelated measures</a> secured <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/20245" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a simple majority</a> largely along party lines with only one Republican, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), voting against it and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) voting &#8220;present.&#8221; Six other GOP members did not vote.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://twitter.com/RepLuna/status/1745513193944781305" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> to X, Luna blasted the roughly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-and-senate-leaders-reach-spending-deal-johnson-touts-concessions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$1.6 trillion &#8220;topline&#8221; spending deal</a> Johnson struck with Democrat leaders in Congress for fiscal 2024 appropriations legislation. &#8220;FACT: [President Joe] Biden&#8217;s $1.6 trillion proposal is a debt bomb for future Americans. Senate Republicans, it&#8217;s time to defend our children&#8217;s financial freedom,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Luna also demanded the passage of legislation that solely focuses on border security, <a href="https://twitter.com/RepLuna/status/1745527718865768745" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posting to X</a>, &#8220;Congress. Needs. A. Stand. Alone. Border. Bill.&#8221; At the moment, bipartisan Senate negotiators are <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/10/senate-border-ukraine-negotiations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hashing out deal</a> that ties border reforms to aid for U.S. allies such as Ukraine.</p>
<p>After 13 Republican lawmakers — including Luna and Roy — joined with all voting Democrats to defeat the same resolution on Wednesday, Johnson met with the holdouts earlier on Thursday. Following the meeting, some members told <a href="https://twitter.com/jamiedupree/status/1745499525312139408" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reporters</a> that Johnson would back out of his spending deal with Democrats and a new plan would be drawn up.</p>

<p>But the speaker said otherwise. &#8220;I’ve made no commitments,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/haleytalbotcnn/status/1745506516541546624" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insisted</a>, noting that conversations were ongoing.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>Time is of the essence as lawmakers race to come up with a dozen appropriations bills with — at least for now — the $1.6 trillion topline figure in mind. 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. The Democrat-led Senate has begun the process of passing <a href="https://twitter.com/SenSchumer/status/1745539461788598778" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another stop-gap measure</a>, just in case.</p>
<p>The House GOP uprising against leadership seen on Wednesday was reminiscent of the revolt a small group of Republicans waged against then-Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-mccarthy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin McCarthy</a> (R-CA) last year, which ended in him losing the gavel.</p>
<p>Roy has said 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 &#8220;motion to vacate&#8221; mechanism against Johnson — the same one 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> — as he voiced objections to the topline spending deal and pushed for border security reforms in line with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/11/us/politics/house-republicans-immigration-bill.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a sweeping bill the House passed last year</a> that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mcconnell-rips-dems-for-refusal-to-link-real-border-security-to-other-challenges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refuses to consider</a>.</p>
<p>Johnson, who is working with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/newsom-announces-dates-for-special-election-to-replace-mccarthy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a razor-thin GOP majority</a>, indicated that he is not concerned about facing a similar fate as McCarthy. &#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>
