Weekly Roundup: New Speaker, Same Challenges

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) has a lot on his agenda — aid to Israel and Ukraine, a looming government shutdown & more. He'll need bipartisan support to get things done, but how doable that is remains to be seen. And, polls in New Hampshire are tightening ahead of January's primaries — even with a major candidate off the ballot entirely.
