Another Republican said he would consider opposing Johnson’s candidacy for speaker in January if Trump did not support him.

“Everything has consequences,” said Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., when asked whether Johnson’s handling of the CR would have an impact on the January vote.

Several Republicans who spoke to Fox News Digital said they felt blindsided by what they saw as short-term additions to the CR, which they expected would be relatively free of independent political influencers.

Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., was angry about health care regulations that have emerged in discussions in recent days that would weaken the power of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). He said Johnson suggested the CR was a “clean” funding extension with no additional guidelines.

“We spoke to the speaker until this weekend, the only discussion was, ‘How long will this clean CR take?’ And all of a sudden we find out – I heard rumors over the weekend – that they’re negotiating a healthcare package that includes PBM stuff,” Burlison said.

“I find it absolutely disgusting to put forward a bill that is several thousand pages long that no one has read, no one has seen today, and then they expect us to vote on it without debate.”

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, told reporters: “The swamp is becoming a swamp, right?”

“Fourteen hundred pages. I still haven’t read the text. Multiple topics. Major health legislation related to extensions on the back of a three-month CR with approximately $110 billion unpaid,” Roy said. “That’s no way to do business.”

Roy has also spoken out against a purported regulation to expand ethanol sales.

“E15 should not be included in this disastrous CR/Supplemental, on most topics being discussed – including a PBM law that has Pharma dancing in the streets…Call me crazy, but we should be reducing the deficit, not passing stupid policies.” ” wrote Roy on X.

The legal text for the CR was originally scheduled to be published on Sunday, but as of late Tuesday morning, negotiations were nearing completion but still ongoing. This brings lawmakers dangerously close to their Friday deadline.

Johnson dismissed any concerns about his job during his weekly news conference on Tuesday.

“I’m not worried about the speaker election,” he said. “We rule. Everyone knows we have difficult circumstances. We are doing our best under these circumstances.”

Johnson also claimed he wanted to give lawmakers 72 hours to read the bill before a vote – meaning it would not be available until Friday at the earliest if it were released today.

But even rank-and-file MPs who are wary of putting Johnson’s job at risk said there was frustration over the situation.

Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., whose district has a significant agricultural sector, said some lawmakers were concerned that agricultural policy provisions in the Czech Republic would hamper Congress’ negotiations on a new farm bill, meaning comprehensive legislation on Determination of food and agricultural policy expires this year.

The CR is expected to include a one-year extension of the current farm law as well as additional subsidies.

“I think there are members who just wish we would be a little more comprehensive and deliberate in passing a farm bill,” Fitzgerald said. “There was very little back and forth with members on specific issues.”
