Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Speaker Johnson Defies GOP Hardliners, Stands by Spending Deal” – below is their description.

The decision, however, threatens to jeopardize the Louisiana Republican’s grip on the speakership as at least two ultra-conservatives have said they are considering ousting him. Only four Republicans are needed to remove him, if all Democrats united against Johnson.
“Our topline agreement remains,” Johnson told reporters after extensive meetings Friday morning with his most vocal opponents.
