Speaker Mike Johnson is working to build GOP consensus for a Section 702 FISA extension before the April 20 deadline, facing internal divisions over warrant requirements and potential legislative attachments from Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna.
Outlets across the spectrum highlight Speaker Johnson's struggle to manage internal divisions, with Fox News focusing on the "conservative revolt" over warrantless powers while Common Dreams frames the delay as a win for privacy advocates. Politico and the Tampa Free Press further note Johnson's reliance on Donald Trump to help unify the fractured Republican conference ahead of the looming deadline.
