Big Changes on the Hill: A House Speaker's New Challenge

In the hustle and bustle of Capitol Hill, Speaker Mike Johnson is facing a tough new challenge. A recent shakeup in a key House committee has caused a stir among Republicans. Johnson decided to replace the chair of the House Intelligence Committee with someone new, upsetting some GOP members who support U. S. aid to Ukraine. This shakeup has divided the party and made passing the president-elect’s agenda more difficult. Some lawmakers worry that the ousted chairman might slow down or even stop important bills from moving forward. With the new year starting and the president about to take office, there's plenty going on. Some of Trump's Cabinet picks had confirmation hearings, and witnesses supported Pam Bondi for attorney general. In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis chose a new senator to replace Marco Rubio, but the fight for the seat is just beginning. Other Republicans in Florida and Ohio are eyeing these seats for future elections.
