Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill Wednesday, April 10, 2024, in Washington.

Johnson has called the program “critically important” but has struggled to find a path forward on the issue, which has been plagued by partisan bickering for years. (AP Photo/Mariam Zuhaib)
