House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed a vote on extending FISA Section 702 surveillance powers after a bipartisan group of lawmakers demanded stronger privacy protections for Americans.
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.
