But we have to look at what's actually in this legislation to see some of those pressure points that could be building on House Speaker Mike Johnson.
This bill would fund the government through January 30th.
and then fund some key agencies through the rest of the fiscal year.
Some hardline conservatives may not be happy with that because they didn't get the chance to negotiate those longer spending bills.
This also importantly includes a reverse for mass firings of federal workers that started on October 1st
shields against future firings through at least January 30th.
That, of course, goes against President Trump's key priority when it comes to reducing the federal workforce.
So that also might face some pushback when House lawmakers get back to town.
I'll say I'm keeping my eye on those moderate Democrats in the House, how they could come over and join Republicans, because that's what we really saw happen when it came to the Senate.
They were negotiating, of course,
for an extension on those Affordable Care Act premium subsidies.
The Senate wasn't able to get a deal in this legislation, but they were able to secure a promise on a vote for an extension.
Down the line, we're expecting that to happen by the second week of December.
See if House Speaker Mike Johnson puts anything similar on the floor.
At this point, we haven't gotten any indications, but I'd expect some House Democrats to push for it.
You certainly ask interesting questions.
