House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) achieved a key procedural victory on Tuesday as House Republicans voted 214-211 to pass a rule setting up floor debate and final votes on a slate of high-profile Republican priorities. The rule advances the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and other measures before lawmakers leave Washington. The vote, which fell largely along party lines, represents the first major hurdle in Johnson's packed legislative agenda. The passage of the rule allows the House to proceed with consideration of the NDAA, a critical annual defense policy bill, along with other Republican-backed initiatives. The narrow margin underscores the tight partisan dynamics in the chamber as Republicans seek to advance their legislative priorities.
