House Republicans said they have reached a deal to raise the threshold to oust their speaker on Wednesday as the party seeks to project a unified front after winning control of the White House and both chambers of Congress.

In January, Mike Johnson faces another vote to stay in the job that places him second in line for the presidency after Vice President-elect JD Vance.

Just three weeks after he took the gavel, House lawmakers are expected to vote on Speaker Johnson's plan to avert a government shutdown Tuesday afternoon.
