Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is facing his GOP conference in person on Wednesday morning for the first time since congressional leaders released a bipartisan deal to avert a government shutdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawmakers are facing a Jan. 19 deadline to fund some parts of the government \u2013 historically less controversial appropriations concerning military construction and Veterans Affairs; Agriculture; Energy and Water; Transportation and Housing and Urban Development \u2013 and a Feb. 2 deadline for the remaining agencies, including the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

But Johnson announced over the weekend that he and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., had come to an agreement to extend those respective deadlines to March 1 and March 8 to give negotiators more time to make a deal on funding the government for the remainder of fiscal year 2024.<\/p>\n

The path forward on government funding is likely to be a main topic of discussion at House Republicans\u2019 next weekly conference meeting, multiple sources speculated to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

The meeting is currently expected for Wednesday morning despite weather conditions forcing the House to cancel its Tuesday evening votes.<\/p>\n

One House GOP aide who spoke with Fox News Digital predicted \u2018a showdown\u2019 within the party over the short-term spending bill called a continuing resolution (CR). The aide told Fox News Digital they anticipate more resistance among the GOP than past CR votes have seen.<\/p>\n

When Johnson last passed a CR in November, it saw 93 Republican defections. He pledged at the time to be \u2018done\u2019 with short-term CRs, a declaration met with enthusiasm by GOP lawmakers in the House.<\/p>\n

The latest short-term extension is still likely to pass with support from both Republicans and Democrats, but not without criticism from Johnson\u2019s right flank \u2013 criticism he\u2019s likely to get a preview of Wednesday morning when GOP lawmakers huddle behind closed doors to discuss what\u2019s next for their conference.<\/p>\n

\u2018There is nothing new or novel about surrendering now and promising to fight tomorrow. Wasn\u2019t the laddered CR supposed to provide some sort of leverage?\u2019 Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, wrote on X Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sadly, an agreement seems to have been made by 4-corners again, in violation of many [House GOP] promises,\u2019 Davidson said.<\/p>\n

The Freedom Caucus itself released a statement calling the deal a \u2018surrender.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The [House GOP] is planning to pass a short-term spending bill continuing Pelosi levels with Biden policies, to buy time to pass longer-term spending bills at Pelosi levels with Biden policies,\u2019 the group said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
