Speaker Mike Johnson reiterated support Friday for the fiscal 2024 spending agreement he negotiated in face of opposition from members of the House Freedom Caucus, who’ve been lobbying him to toss the deal.
Johnson, R-La., told reporters that while he is seeking feedback from across his conference, he is committed to the “strong” deal he negotiated with Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y..
“Our topline agreement remains, we are getting our next steps together, and we are working toward a robust appropriations process,” he said.
