Mike Johnson faces conservative mutiny over Trump-backed plan to avert government shutdown

U.S. Representative Mike Johnson, serving Louisiana’s 4th congressional district, appears to be facing opposition from conservative members of his party against a plan aimed at preventing a government shutdown. This plan has support from former president Trump.

Conservative dissent, often coming from members who identify with the more conservative arm of the party, frequently centers around the spending bills, contentious policy issues or disagreement over strategy. The opponents may perceive the plan as either too liberal or compromising their own conservative principles.
