Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) slammed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for having \u201ccooked\u201d up a massive year-end spending bill that he claims is full of Democratic priorities, declaring \u201cWe need to have a serious look at who is leading this Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is the same old, same old,\u201d Hawley told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday. \u201cThis bill right here would add hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit, and the worst part is, it is all for Dem priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy would you saddle Donald Trump with this terrible spending bill before he even gets into office?\u201d Hawley asked, referring to the 1,547-page short-term funding bill that includes an array of add-ons such as $100 billion in disaster relief, economic aid for farmers, reforms for pharmacy benefit managers and a pay raise for lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI tell you what, we need to have a serious look at who is leading this Congress, because if this is the best they can do, I mean, it is total incompetence,\u201d Hawley said. \u201cThis is a disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Missouri Republican, who just won reelection, was disappointed Johnson did not include language and funding to expand the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to cover people in the St. Louis area affected by radioactive materials left over from the World War II-era Manhattan Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hawley blamed the Speaker for killing a bipartisan deal to expand the program, which expired in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up Next &#8211; Luigi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He posted on the social platform X that Johnson \u201cpersonally killed a bipartisan, bicameral expansion + spending cap RECA deal. It was him alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stopgap spending package appeared to be headed toward defeat Wednesday after President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance called on Republican lawmakers to instead pass a clean stopgap spending bill combined with legislation to raise the debt limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRepublicans want to support our farmers, pay for disaster relief, and set our country up for success in 2025,\u201d Trump and Vance said in a statement. \u201cThe only way to do that is with a temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS combined with an increase in the debt ceiling. Anything else is a betrayal of our country. Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Already one House Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.), has said he will not support Johnson\u2019s bid to remain Speaker because of the spending bill, and other GOP lawmakers have begun to discuss alternatives to lead the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) said the talk about replacing Johnson is \u201cthe most I\u2019ve ever heard.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
