  • Republican lawmakers including Speaker Mike Johnson, Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Sen. Kevin Cramer have publicly voiced opposition, citing recruitment and martyrdom risks.
  • President Trump says he approves of the livestream but has suggested the final decision has not yet been made.
  • Johnson says he plans to relay colleagues' concerns to the White House, leaving the outcome unresolved ahead of December.
