House Speaker Mike Johnson, a relatively unknown congressman from Louisiana who rose to lead House Republicans amid a revolt by hardliners, faces a challenging task of averting a U.S. government shutdown.

However, internal strife among Republicans threatens to impede any progress on a spending plan.

Lawmakers indicate that the House is scheduled to vote on the plan on Tuesday, Bloomberg reported.
