Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is at risk of not having the votes to pass a six-month extension in government funding despite his inclusion of a voting measure meant to appease reluctant conservatives.

House GOP leadership plans to begin whipping votes for the proposal, which includes the SAVE Act, a proof-of-citizenship voting bill demanded by hard-line members, when lawmakers return from a monthlong recess on Monday. But already, he is facing resistance from a group of fiscal hawks who rarely, if ever, vote for short-term funding extensions.
