FISA spy powers vote delayed
Speaker Mike Johnson is struggling to gather enough support for the controversial Section 702 program, which is set to expire on Monday.
President Trump has urged Republicans to 'stick together' and extend the spy powers, arguing they are essential for national security.
However, a significant faction of the GOP, led by lawmakers like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, remains opposed to any extension without significant reforms.
The delay sets up a high-stakes showdown on Capitol Hill as the deadline for the program's expiration rapidly approaches.
