House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced that the top-line spending deal he forged with Senate Democrats would remain intact even after conservative Republicans pressed the party leader to back out of the agreement.

“Our top-line agreement remains,” Johnson told reporters on Friday. “We are getting our next steps together, and we are working towards a robust appropriations process. So stay tuned for all of that.”
