WASHINGTON − House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Sunday urged lawmakers to stay in Washington D.C. to avoid a delay in certifying the 2024 presidential election results amid a major winter storm that hit the nation's capital early Monday.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has maintained that any relief aid for California and Los Angeles is likely to require policy review first.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he “won’t commit” to providing aid without conditions to the flame-engulfed region of Los Angeles County. Johnson and other Republicans have been considering leveraging California’s need for aid and relief to advance political agendas as the fires rage on.

Firefighters on Tuesday held the line against two massive wildfires that have ravaged parts of Los Angeles for the past week, even as desert winds and a parched landscape presented extremely hazardous conditions.

The Los Angeles area remains on edge on Tuesday as extremely gusty winds return to the region, which could cause wildfires to quickly spread.
