Speaker Johnson's Fundraising Efforts

Speaker Mike Johnson is currently engaged in significant fundraising activities aimed at bolstering support within the Republican party. He is attending a high-profile retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he is connecting with major Republican donors and lawmakers, helping raise substantial funds for GOP initiatives. Notably, he is navigating complex legislative demands from the House Freedom Caucus, which seeks specific attachments to government funding bills, including the SAVE Act, aimed at requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. Johnson's approach to these demands will be critical for his longevity as Speaker, especially as the government faces a looming funding deadline.
